A movie theater in Oklahoma posted "warning" signs about Lightyear containing a gay kiss — and told patrons it would fast-forward over the scene during its screenings.

Disney and Pixar's latest big-screen release is the Toy Story spin-off Lightyear, which is about Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Chris Evans) and the backstory that inspired Tim Allen's action figure in the popular franchise. One scene involves Buzz's colleague Alisha Hawthorne (voiced by Uzo Aduba) saying she has a wife. The couple is briefly shown kissing and later welcoming a baby son.

The inclusion of the same-sex embrace caused controversy among some markets, as countries overseas like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates went as far as to ban it from being released altogether.

In the town of Kingfisher, Oklahoma, the local cinema 89er Theatre posted signs on its doors "warning" parents about the kiss and said they'd fast-forward over the scene, according to KFOR.

The sign read: "Warning. Attention Parents: The management of this theatre discovered after booking 'Lightyear' that there is a same-sex kissing scene within the first 30 minutes of the Pixar movie. We will do all we can to fast-forward through that scene, but it might not be exact. We apologize for any inconvenience this late discovery of this scene causes."
