When Snoop Dogg looked at Disney’s “Lightyear”, he felt surprised when his grandson asked questions about the same -sex couple in the film. In a current appearance in the “It’s Giving …” podcast, the rapper told about this experience. An excerpt that has now been removed from the YouTube upload.
The scene in “Lightyear”
“They jump into the future, and at some point it says: ‘Then she got a baby with a woman’,” said Snoop. “Now my grandson is in the middle of the cinema and asks: ‘Papa Snoop? How can she have a baby with a woman? She’s a woman.’ Damn it, I didn’t want to see the damned film for that. ”
In “Lightyear”, which was released in 2022, Buzz Lightyear’s best friend Alisha Hawthorne (Uzo Aduba) is engaged to Kiko. The grandmother of a figure that Keke Palmer spoke. In flashbacks you can see how the couple raises a son. On your 40th wedding anniversary, you share a kiss. Finally, Kiko dies in old age. It’s a simple story.
Snoop remembered that he told his grandson that he should simply continue watching the film. But he wanted to answer. “No no, they just said that they and they have a baby – but both are women. How can she have a baby?” Snoop’s answer: “Pssst, the film is not over yet.” He left open whether they continued the conversation later.
Snoop DogG’s reaction and podcast cut
“I’m now afraid to go to the cinema,” said Snoop. “You throw me in the middle of a situation that I have no answer.” The deleted excerpt removed additional context. What is striking is the cut at minute 31, where Snoop still says: “It is what you see. They pack it in everywhere.” Then the video jumps on a new topic.
Shortly before, podcast presenter Sarah Fontenot spoke about masculinity and femininity: “I have the feeling that we are twisted, especially in our community, where women are a lot of masculine and men a lot of feminine-and I don’t like that.”
In the distant clip, Snoop said that the “Lightyear” scene “got him completely out of the concept”: “I thought: ‘What part of that was now in the film?’ These are children.
Discussion about social change
Fontenot then shifted the conversation to depression and anxiety in children and said that the solution was that they drink water, eat healthier and play outside.
Chris Evans, the voice of Buzz Lightyear, told Reuter’s television in 2022: “Every time there is social progress, the history of America, human history, one of constant awakening and growth – that makes us strong. There will always be afraid of people who are uninformed and want to hold on to the past. But these people die like dinosaurs. Give, advance and hug the growth that makes us human. “
