10 Years Ago, Finding Dory Threw Pixar To The Culture Wars Over A 2-Second Shot

Finding Dory came out 10 years ago, continuing the story of one of the most popular Pixar franchises. Released in 2016 and starring the same voice actors from in the original film, including Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks, the story centers on Dory, and explores both her childhood and her short term memory loss. It was a highly anticipated movie, a sequel to 2003’s Finding Nemo that had been rumored and in development for years. But for some reason, a two-second scene featuring a lesbian couple became one of the most controversial parts of the project — and one of the first entries in Pixar’s queer history.
