Pecker is a key witness in the case against the former US president, who is accused of falsifying business records to cover up hush-money payment
Disney-Pixar's animated film Lightyear will not be screened in cinemas across the UAE, the Media Regulatory Office has announced. In an Instagram post, the regulator said the decision was taken because of the movie’s “violation of the country’s media content standards”.
The movie was scheduled to be released on June 16. According to media reports, the film has been banned in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as well.
The regulator further stated that all films screened in cinemas across the country are subject to evaluation before the date of screening to the public, to ensure the safety of the circulated content according to the appropriate age classification.
Lightyear is the fifth installment in the Toy Story franchise that was the first computer-animated franchise and catapulted Disney and Pixar into superstardom. The movie is centred around the hero explorer Buzz Lightyear, who after being marooned on a planet, embarks on an adventure with a group of ambitious recruits and his robot companion.
The Toy Story films have grossed more than $3 billion worldwide, with each film setting box office records.
