Disney called the attack on Ukraine “unprovoked” and made its stance on the “tragic humanitarian crisis” known.
On Monday, a spokesperson for The Walt Disney Company released the following statement:
“Given the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and the tragic humanitarian crisis, we are pausing the release of theatrical films in Russia, including the upcoming Turning Red from Pixar. We will make future business decisions based on the evolving situation. In the meantime, given the scale of the emerging refugee crisis, we are working with our NGO partners to provide urgent aid and other humanitarian assistance to refugees.”
