Malaysia nod to Watson movie

Kuala Lumpur: Disney has announced that Beauty and the Beast, which was under scanner in Malaysia for featuring a ‘gay moment’, will release in the Muslim-majority country without any cuts. The Emma Watson-starrer, which was originally slated to release on March 16, will now hit the theatres on March 30. The live-action remake of the 1991 animated film vanished from local movie listings after the censor board asked for certain cuts but Disney Malaysia apparently did not agree to the demand. The film was submitted for an appeal on Wednesday.
