Censorship
A same-sex kiss between Alisha Hawthorne and her female partner resulted in the movie getting banned from cinemas in Bahrain, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria and the United Arab Emirates, where homosexuality is highly considered taboo (and illegal in several of the aforementioned countries).

This also caused the movie to be excluded from Disney+ in the Middle East, although it did get released on Disney+ Hotstar in Indonesia with a 21+ rating and in Malaysia with an 18+ rating.

The movie is also unlikely to be released in China, given the fact that Disney did not approve the cuts requested by the country's censorship board, which has been practising strict censorship of LGBT content in the media in recent years.
