No editing for Beauty and the Beast in Malaysia.

The Film Censorship board in Malaysia are not happy with the "gay scene" where two of the male characters are dancing in a ballroom. The film board claims that the scene will promote homosexuality. Disney is standing their ground and telling the film board in Malaysia that they will not be cutting the scene because the scene is only three seconds long. The chairman Abdul Halim Adbul Hamid "It is in our guidelines that we don’t allow L.G.B.T. activity in movies in Malaysia, They are the ones not allowing the movie to be shown. We approved it with a minor cut.” The chairman says that if Disney had only cut the three second scene they would have given the movie a PG-13 rating.
