Disney's Alan Horn reveals Bohemian Rhapsody never would have been made under Disney

With Fox, we can make movies that right now I say no to. Take Bohemian Rhapsody, which is PG-13. It's a hit movie and very, very good. But there's no way we could make it under the Disney label because the characters smoke cigarettes and other content. Nor could we have made [Warner Bros.' R-rated] Oscar-winning Argo because the characters smoke and use the F-word. We always have to think about the smoking policy. The audience for a Disney movie may not know what they are going to see, but they know what they aren't going to see. There are certain things we just can't include because we'll get letters.

Touchstone / Hollywood Pictures, are Disney labels that used to put out adult films , but mostly in Bob Iger era they just do blockbuster/franchise films

Under Walt Disney? No, probably not. If it had been, it probably would have starred Dean Jones and Sandy Duncan.
