LOS ANGELES: Images of the adorable Baby Yoda character from Disney+'s The Mandalorian Star Wars series are back on Giphy – after the GIF-sharing site briefly pulled them down over a mix-up about copyrights.

"Last week, there was some confusion around certain content uploaded to Giphy and we temporarily removed these GIFs while we reviewed the situation," the company said in a statement. "We are happy to report that the [Baby Yoda] GIFs are once again live on Giphy."
