"The movie promoted homosexuality and did not comply with Algeria's religious and cultural beliefs"

Did I see the wrong movie again when that pink fever dream about living -and quite certainly asexual- plastic puppets somehow promotes homosexuality?

Maybe you should go watch the movie again with your family and friends a couple of time, just to make sure.

I think there was a scene showing a gay couple checking out Ken for a couple of seconds when they arrived at the beach

Would be very funny if they did leave that out in their release there and it still got banned for that since everyone knows that it's not about that why they don't want people seeing that movie
