Disney Plus News: Pixar’s Out Garners Rave Review
Out was directed by Steven Clay Hunter, who also worked on Wall-e and Toy Story 2 among other Pixar films. Max Sachar, known for his work on Coco and Incredibles 2, serves as the film’s producer. One of the reasons why the movie came out now is because Disney has long been criticized in the past for its lack of LGBTQ characters in its programs. Luckily, the short film has so far gotten rave reviews from Disney and animation fans alike. Many Disney Plus fans have commented on the short film with, “I loved this. I wish it had been available when I was a young kid trying to make peace with my sexuality. Instead I waited years longer than I should have to come out to my mom,” along with, “I loved this so much! I watched it with my kids. A beautiful example of family, love, motherhood.” Another fan wrote, “As a gay, 58 year-old man who grew up on Disney, this really hit home. Thank you, Disney. Unfortunately, I didn’t experience this.”
