One Million Moms (OMM) announced to boycott Disney after the movie premier showed an LGBTQ+ character. A small clip showing a boy flirting with another was released in June drawing backlashes by OMM which said: "Obviously, this part of the movie is a nod to inclusivity, along with a blatant attempt by Disney to normalize a same-sex crush."
A Twitter user said that they are not only boycotting the film but they are also calling to cut off Disney. Another reacted by saying: "Just don't watch it. These people are the worst."
