Snoop Dogg Says ‘Lightyear’ Left Him Confused Watching With Grandson
So, here’s something that’s been making waves in entertainment news lately. Snoop Dogg recently opened up about an experience he had while taking his grandson to see Pixar’s 2022 movie Lightyear . During an appearance on the “It’s Giving” podcast, he shared how he was completely caught off guard by the film’s depiction of a same-sex couple raising a child.
Snoop explained that in the middle of the movie, his grandson turned to him and asked a very direct question: how could a woman have a baby with another woman? And Snoop admitted, honestly, that he didn’t have an answer. He said he just went to watch the movie, expecting a fun time, but suddenly found himself in this awkward parenting moment, trying to explain something he wasn’t prepared for. He described the moment as throwing him “for a loop” and admitted that it even made him feel a bit scared about taking his grandchildren to the movies in the future.

He reflected on how kids are naturally curious and will ask questions about what they see, but for him, being put on the spot by his grandson’s curiosity was a real challenge. He said, “They’re going to ask. I don’t have the answer.” His reaction was both candid and relatable—many parents can probably identify with feeling blindsided by a question they weren’t ready to answer.
The film itself is part of Pixar’s Toy Story universe, a spinoff following the adventures of Buzz Lightyear. It featured one of Disney and Pixar’s most prominent LGBTQ+ characters and included the studio’s first same-sex kiss in a major feature film. Interestingly, that scene was initially cut, which sparked backlash among Pixar employees and allies, leading to the kiss being reinstated. Actor Chris Evans, who voiced Buzz Lightyear, later defended the decision, saying that representation in movies is important and that one day, moments like this should just feel normal instead of controversial.
Snoop’s comments have stirred quite a reaction online, with some people criticizing him and others understanding his candid admission of being unsure how to respond to his grandson’s questions. It’s a reminder of how storytelling in children’s movies is evolving and how parents and caregivers can sometimes feel unprepared when movies tackle topics they didn’t expect to confront in a family-friendly setting.
In the end, Snoop Dogg’s story isn’t just about a movie—it’s about the challenges of parenting, representation in media, and how our cultural conversations can sometimes hit us in the most unexpected ways, even in the middle of a cartoon adventure.
