LOS ANGELES: Chris Evans, who voices the lead character in Lightyear, praised the move to reflect all kinds of people, saying those who react negatively should be disregarded.
"The real truth is those people are idiots," Evans said in an interview with Reuters Television ahead of Lightyear's debut in theaters on Friday.
"Every time we wake up there is social advancement, the American story, the human story is one of continuous social awakening and development and that's what makes us good," he said.
Chris Evans' comment comes after Lightyear was banned in 14 countries.
Lightyear is a prequel to Pixar's acclaimed Toy Story franchise.
Chris Evans voices the main character, Buzz Lightyear, a legendary space ranger.
