obviously there is a time and place for these conversations, a theater is not the place. but on the otherhand he litterally says he told the kid to shush and eat popcorn. Whereas your dad or my mom would have have explained on the spot. The only excuse I can see is that its his grandson and maybe he isnt sure how his parents would react to him teaching him this stuff. but to me Its a serious enough topic that it should be explained at least later by them. Even if he isnt homophobic dancing around the topic certainly is.

Childrens media often covers serious topics like, death, mental health, divorce, bullying, diversity, disabilities to name a few. Its litterally designed to make kids ask questions like this. I dont think hed Ignore any questions on these topics. Infact theres probably 100s of examples he could have used when his own kids or grandkids asked heavy questions. Why did this stick out in his mind? The interviewers first example of this was anxiety, which is a much more reasonable approach to this conversation of "should we be putting this stuff in kids media?"

Also I just watched the clip from buzz lightyear for additional context. and my previous statement assuming adoption was not an option because it depicts the pregnancy and raising of the child. So I was off quite off base there.
