Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter had a strange interview where he explained why Elio cut some LGBTQ+ elements from the story. The head man sat down with the Wall Street Journal to talk about Hoppers. But, with a larger conversation about the studio’s original efforts bubbling in the background, Docter had to address some of those recent movies.
Elio was a movie that didn’t find an audience in theaters. Numerous postmortems on that film pointed to a lot of studio tinkering and the removal of a gay plot point in the film. This has been reported on in the past, and folks wonder what was going on behind the scenes.
