Disney and LGBTQ representation in animation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article features the history of the representation oflesbian,gay,bisexual,transgender andqueer (LGBTQ) characters in animated productions underThe Walt Disney Company, including films from the studiosWalt Disney Animation Studios andPixar, and programming from theDisney Branded Television channels as well as the streaming serviceDisney+. From 1983 onward, Disney struggled with LGBTQ representation in their animated series, and their content often includedLGBTQ stereotypes[1][2] or the content was censored in series which aired onToon Disney such asBlazing Dragons.[3] Some creators have also criticizedDisney studio executives of cutting LGBTQ scenes from their shows in the past,[4][5] or criticized that their shows were not seen as part of the "Disney brand", likeThe Owl House.[6]

Representation

[edit]

Queer coding

[edit]

Gender hasalways been a component of animation, with scholarsHarry Benshoff andSean Griffin writing thatanimation has always "hint[ed] at the performative nature of gender."[7] Some argued that theWalt Disney Company played with gender stereotypes in the past, featuringeffeminate orsissy characters,[8] or those coded as gay,[9] which occurred while the characters were comedic and kept at arms length. Continuing from the late 1980s, villains in Disney films which werequeer coded began to appear.[2]

Gaston and LeFou in the 1991 filmBeauty and the Beast andJafar from the 1992 filmAladdin were created by an openly gay animator namedAndreas Deja,[1] and sang music byHoward Ashman, who was also openly gay. Deja supervised animation for those characters, with some noting thecampy value of these characters.[10] The fact that Deja had also worked onScar inThe Lion King and the titular character inHercules, for example, has been discussed as an influence on the development of some Disney characters.[11][12] In a June 1994 article inThe Advocate, an executive producer ofThe Lion King,Thomas Schumacher, a gay man, argued that there were "a lot of gay people at every level" of Disney, and called it a "very supportive environment". He noted that he brought his partner, Matt White, to an annual company beach party and long company retreats and that while some executives were uncomfortable with Schumacher bringing his partner, higher executives didn't give him any trouble. Schumacher also said that while he regretted handing over reins of the film toDon Hahn, he was proud of songs byTim Rice, a lyricist, andElton John in the film.The Advocate noted that even if there aren't any openly gay or lesbian characters in the film, there is sensitivity to LGBTQ issues in the upper echelon of Disney.[13]

This queer coding had its disadvantages, with networks not wanting to show overt representation.Rebecca Sugar argued that it is really heavy for a kid to only exist as a villain or a joke in an animated series.[2] In 2011, Deja toldnews.com.au Disney would have a "family that has two dads or two mums" if they find the "right kind of story with that kind of concept."[14] However, other critics criticized such queer-coded villains as contributing to homophobic discourse and equating queerness with evil itself.[15][16]

Historian Peter C. Kunze argued that Ashman was recruited by Disney fromBroadway, saying that while working withAlan Menken, he crafted songs inThe Little Mermaid (1989),Beauty and the Beast andAladdin. Kunze noted that Ashman and animators onThe Little Mermaid were inspired bygay culture andgay icons. He also pointed out that Ashman was supported byJeffrey Katzenberg after coming out asHIV-Positive, with the company even creating a production unit near his home so he could receive treatment inNew York City rather than traveling toBurbank, California, withBeauty and the Beast dedicated to him. Kunze further noted that Albert Tavares, a gay man,oversaw casting onThe Little Mermaid.[10]

In 2006,Brother Bear II, explored themes of diversity and personal transformation. The film portrays Nita's transformation into a bear, which is met with unconditional support from her father, who affirms, “I will love you no matter what you choose,” highlighting the importance of acceptance and love across differences.[17]Melissa Etheridge, inspired by the film, wrote three original songs for the soundtrack.[18]

In May 2020, Amber Vucinich, a story revisionist forRapunzel's Tangled Adventure,[19] revealed thatCassandra "Cass" was gay coded, with "sapphic looks" toward the story's protagonist,Rapunzel.[20] She also said that there were many "queer women who boarded scenes [of] Cassandra," and thatwomen-love-women vibes were ingrained in every drawing she did of the character.[21]

In March 2021,Kelly Marie Tran, the voice actress of Raya in the filmRaya and the Last Dragon, argued that Raya is queer, stating that she believed there were "some romantic feelings" between Raya and Namaari in the story. She later made clear that this isn't the official Disney position and hoped for a Disney warrior that is "openly in the LGBTQ community" in the future, perhaps even a person who isdisabled.[22]

In June 2021,Luca was released onDisney+. Some argued that the film felt "gay" even if not "explicitly queer," and more ambiguous, comparing it to the 2017 live-action filmCall Me by Your Name and the 2020 animated filmWolfwalkers.[23][4] Others said that Luca and Alberto hiding their true sea monster identities was an allegory for people who are members of theLGBTQ+ community, feeling as though they need to hide their true selves in order to be accepted.[24] The film's director,Enrico Casarosa, said this was unintentional and that his original vision for the film was to explore the time in a child's life before romance,[25] but he has since welcomed the interpretation after the film's release, also stating: "While I identify with pronouns he/him and I am a straight man, the themes of diversity, acceptance and inclusion in our movie are dear to my heart".[26]

Positive representation

In the 2010s, the series finale ofGravity Falls, aired on theDisney Channel, and featured Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland confirmed to be a gay couple.[27][28][29]

In 2016,Jared Bush, writer and co-director of the filmZootopia, stated that the film features a gay couple, Bucky and Pronk Oryx-Antlerson.[30]

In March 2017,Star vs. the Forces of Evil would make headlines with an episode entitled "Just Friends". The episode featured characters attending a concert and later concert-goers starting to kiss, including same-sex couples.[31]

On September 30, 2018,Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors aired on theDisney Channel andDisney XD. The team includedAmerica Chavez, aLatina lesbian superhero.[32][33] GLAAD expressed hope that the film would allow Chavez to be represented accurately, and "serve as an introduction of America and further queer characters to the Marvel Cinematic Universe."[34] The film was later described as "a superhero tale with diversity oozing out of every animated frame," with note of Chavez having two mothers.[35]

On May 22, 2020, an animated short film titledOut premiered onDisney+. This short Pixar film revolves around Greg attempting to hide a framed photo of him and his boyfriend, Manuel, from his parents, out of fear for their disapproval. The seventh short film in theSparkShorts series, it is both Disney's and Pixar's first short to feature agay main character and storyline, including an on-screen same-sex kiss.[36]

In the 2020s,The Owl House featured a bisexual protagonist,Luz Noceda, and various other LGBTQ characters.[37][38]GLAAD praised it as a "noteworthy" series which "introduced new queer women characters".[39] Previously, series creatorDana Terrace confirmed Luz Noceda as bisexual andAmity Blight as a lesbian in a Reddit AMA in September 2020.[40] Amity and Luz represent Disney's first animated LGBT+ femaleregular characters. The series also featured Raine Whispers, who goes by they/them pronouns and is voiced by transgender and non-binary actor Avi Roque,[41][42] and is Disney's first non-binary character.[43][44]

On September 29, 2020, Samantha "Sam" King, a writer for the Season 3 episode ofDuckTales, "They Put a Moonlander On the Earth!", confirmed that Lieutenant Penumbra is a lesbian character.[45] However, King wished it had been more overt and said that people should continue to ask for better representation.[45] In 2020, she participated in a DuckTales zine where she confirmed that Launchpad is bisexual, saying "LP just has so much love in him, that of course he's not only romantically attracted to one gender."[citation needed]

In March 2022, leaked clips from aWalt Disney Company meeting showed the president ofDisney General Entertainment, Karey Burke, explain to staff that she is a parent of "two queer children," and the production coordinator atDisney Television Animation, Allen Martsch, note that his team is trying to include "more trans and gender non-conforming characters" in Disney animations.[46] Also, in the meeting, Layota Raveneau, series director ofThe Proud Family: Louder and Prouder andRise Up, Sing Out, said that she was adding queerness wherever she could in the projects she worked on for Disney.[47][48] Elsewhere, Burke promised that 50% of the characters in content created by the Disney General Entertainment would be "from minority groups."[46][47]

On May 21, 2022, Luz and Amity kissed each other on the lips inThe Owl House episode "Clouds on the Horizon". It is the first same-sex kiss between the main characters in a Disney animated series.[49]Strange World, which was released on November 23, 2022, features Ethan Clade, who is the first gay lead character in a Disney animated film.[50] Ethan Clade is voiced by gay comedian Jaboukie Young-White.

Criticism

[edit]

Shang Li was not included in the 2020live-action remake ofMulan. One of the film's producers said that Shang was dropped in response to theMeToo movement, arguing that "having a commanding officer that is also the sexual love interest was very uncomfortable and we didn't think it was appropriate".[53] This was met with social media backlash from fans of the original film and members of theLGBTQ community, with Reed initially surprised by criticism of Shang's removal, but acknowledged that the character had become an LGBTQ icon.[54][55][56] He added that Shang's role would be served by two new characters, Commander Tung and Chen Honghui.[54][56] Even so, some reviewers called the interactions between Honghui and Mulan to be more homoerotic than Li Shang's in the animated version and can be read as bisexual while others criticized the reasoning of Reed as incorrect.[57][58] Mulan was described, by one scholar as having a character, Mulan herself, who could successfullypass as the opposite sex and as subverting her traditionally assigned gender signifiers, while having an unusually masculine body. It was further stated that as a result, Mulan was the "perfect embodiment of adrag king" even though she maintains herheterosexuality as she is attracted to Li Sheng, comparing Mulan's interpretation of her sexuality to that ofBugs Bunny.[59] Furthermore, gay playwrightHarvey Fierstein voiced a character in Mulan, and only accepted the part after confirming that the rest of the cast was Asian so he would not take work away from an Asian actor.[60]

A fewhomophobicconservative Christian commentators decried what they considered to be implicithomosexuality in the 2013 filmFrozen, considering Elsa's being different from others, her ostracism from society, and her independence and rejection of male suitors, as metaphors forlesbianism. Elsa's song "Let it Go" has been compared to the phenomenon ofcoming out of the closet.[61][62][63]

In August 2017,Doc McStuffins featured a lesbian (and interracial) married couple, Thea and Edie, voiced by lesbian actressesWanda Sykes andPortia de Rossi respectively.[64][65][66] These two characters would be the first same-sex couple featured in aDisney Junior pre-school series. Some argued that this episode would be a turning point for executives who fears boycotts from conservative groups like theFamily Research Council andOne Million Moms, calling the episode a "major win for both Disney and preschool series," showing that LGBTQ characters could appears in shows aimed at younger viewers without retaliation or crisis.[67]

Star Wars Resistance, which aired from October 2018 to January 2020 on theDisney Channel andDisney XD, featured LGBTQ characters. In this animation, Orka and Flix run the Office of Acquisitions on theColossus, with Orka doing the negotiations.[68] Justin Ridge, an executive producer, said that it is safe to call them a couple, adding "they're absolutely a gay couple and we're proud of that" on theCoffee With Kenobi podcast.[69][70] Some said that they didn't see themselves in the show because they were only confirmed outside of the show's universe by the show's creators.[71] Flix is voiced by queer actorJim Rash.

In early June 2021, in celebration ofPride Month, Disney unveiled new merchandise and tweeted an illustration. In response,Alex Hirsch, the creator of the Disney seriesGravity Falls, criticized Disney studio executives for cutting LGBTQ scenes from their shows. In his tweet, which was retweeted thousands of times, he urged people to "mercilessly" spam the executives by saying there is "room for everyone under the rainbow" if the executives claim LGBTQ+ characters are not "Disney appropriate."[4][5]

The Owl House Latin American dub in September 2021 was met with criticism by both viewers and Roque for portraying Raine as a cisgender male instead of non-binary.[72] The character has also been portrayed as a cisgender male in other dubs.

In April 2022, Peter C. Kunze, a historian atTulane University argued that there is a "long history of LGBTQ audiences and employees supporting, even saving, the company from veritable demise." He also said that Disney relied on LGBTQ people to "revamp its animated films", taking the example ofHoward Ashman, an openly gay man who was the lyricist forThe Little Mermaid andBeauty and the Beast. Kunze argued that Disney CEOBob Chapek should remember the company's history and "understand the invaluable contributions LGBTQ communities have made to the company he leads."[10]

In May 2025,Disney Experiences announced that they will team up withMiral, Abu Dhabi's leading creator of immersive destinations and experiences to create a landmark Disney theme park resort inAbu Dhabi.[73] The announcement was met with mixed reception among the public as well the LGBTQ+ community as the country is known for many laws that target the LGBTQ+ community.[citation needed]

Censorship

[edit]

Disney executives did not always receive LGBTQ characters and relationships positively. They, for instance, axed a proposed lesbian relationship inGravity Falls, at the same time thatThe Amazing World of Gumball, a series on Disney's competitorCartoon Network, was censored for supposed "homosexual overtones" by various countries. The formerNational Expert Commission of Ukraine on the Protection of Public Morality advised in 2012 the banning ofSpongeBob SquarePants on the grounds that it promoted homosexuality.[74] In June 2021, David Levine, a former Disney executive who oversaw kids programming for 16 years, said that "a lot of conservative opinion" driving depictions of characters of theDisney Channel,Cartoon Network, andNickelodeon, with no hope for LGBTQ representation, saying he still has similar conversations to this day.[67]

A show created byTerry Jones andGavin Scott,Blazing Dragons, aired onTeletoon in Canada,Spacetoon inArab countries, andCanal+ in France from 1996 to 1998. In the series, Sir Blaze is a member of the Square Table, and is flamboyant and effeminate. Throughout the series, he is implied to be gay. His implicit homosexuality was censored when the series aired onToon Disney in the United States.[3]

The episode from the originalProud Family series "Who You Calling a Sissy" was pulled from the network after its initial airing on August 12, 2005, as a result of regarding Michael's sexual orientation while frequently being called a "sissy" at the time. The ban was lifted in 2020 as the episode is available to stream on Disney+. In February 2021,Ralph Farquhar revealed that inThe Proud Family, which aired on theDisney Channel from 2001 to 2005, they had to use "code to talk about if Michael was gay, to talk about sexuality" and to be "sort of underhanded about it." He said this changed withThe Proud Family: Louder and Prouder with the biggest changes to the show were "gender identity, obviously racial identity and quote-unquote wokeness," and said that sexuality can be "sort of in your face with it a lot more," manifesting itself in the storytelling.Bruce W. Smith also said that the show has more than "just one gay person...representing the entire LGBTQ+ spectrum" and said that it is "not fair" to only have one LGBTQ character in the series.[75] Barry and Randell kiss in the episode "Father Figures". It is the first Disney series to feature a same-sex kiss between a married couple.Screen Rant argued that the revival broke down barriers through inclusion of multicultural families and characters belonging to the LGBTQ+ community.[76]

On March 10, 2022,Pixar employees argued that "nearly every moment" of openly gay affection was cut due to demands from Disney executives, even if creative teams and Pixar executives objected, arguing that these employees are being barred from creating queer content in animated films.[77][78][79] Some critics countered that Pixar also downplayed queer moments in films likeTurning Red with the character Priya Mangal.[80]

ND Stevenson is the creator of the webcomic,Nimona

In March 2022, amid the controversy of Disney's involvement in Florida'sParental Rights in Education Act and lack of criticism from CEOBob Chapek untilafter the bill had passed, three former Blue Sky staff members stated theNimona film received pushback from Disney leadership, centered around the film's LGBT themes and a same-sex kiss.[81][82] While staffers said that the kiss scene was taken out of presentations to Disney executives, they said still held out hope that it would be included in the final film.[83][84] It was also reported in mid-March 2022 that a same-sex kiss inLightyear, which was released on June 17, was reinstated, with the film featuring the studio's "first-ever on-screen kiss between two characters of the same gender" between Alisha Hawthorne and her wife Kiko.[85]

AfterLightyear performed poorly at the box office, Pixar was alleged to have attributed the financial failure to the same-sex kiss. This resulted in modifications being enforced during production ofInside Out 2 to make the character of Riley seem "less gay", to the point of making modifications to lighting in scenes in which she is seen interacting with her friend Val, despite Riley having not been intended to be gay in the first place. An anonymous source stated to IGN that many Pixar staff members "accepted the fact that we may never see a major gay character in a Pixar movie".[86]

In November 2024,Polygon reported that theMoon Girl and Devil Dinosaur season 2 episode "The Gatekeeper", about Brooklyn facing discrimination for being a transgender girl, was shelved by Disney before it aired. Several crew members, like storyboarder Derrick Malick Johnson, asserted onsocial media that Disney decided not to air the episode because of "which party that won the recent election" which likely referred to the victory ofDonald Trump and theRepublican Party in the2024 United States presidential election.[87][88][89] Later reporting byCollider asserted the episode has been on hold for over a year, which had nothing to do with the election results, but that it was unclear if it "will ever be officially released." They also reported that the episode was leaked onYouTube and noted criticism of the decision to not release the episode by storyboarder Emmy Cicirega,Amphibia creatorMatt Braly, indie animation writer Dave Capdevielle, andThe Owl House creatorDana Terrace.[90][87][91] James Whitbrook ofio9, after reviewing the leaked footage, noted that "the episode is clearly not subtle" with its focus on Brooklyn and "the explicit prejudice she faces as a trans teen who wants to participate in school sports".[92] Whitbrook reported that a Disney source claimed the intent of the hold was "to ensure material doesn't potentially push ahead discussions around social issues before families can have them themselves", however, Whitbrook also commented that "it would not be the first time Disney has capitulated to right-wing systems of power by censoring its own material".[92] Despite being unreleased, the episode won a Velma Award, from the non-profit LGBT organization, The Rainbow Project, which was co-founded byChris Nee, Kristi Reed, and Jeremy Blacklow.[93]

On December 17, 2024,Deadline Hollywood reported that Disney removed a storyline related to a transgender character in an episode within an upcoming Pixar television seriesWin or Lose, with the company's spokesperson saying that "when it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline" while the character remains in the series, lines of dialogue that referencedgender identity were cut.[94] It was also reported that the decision to cut this storyline had happened "several months ago".[95] Chanel Stewart, the transgender actress who voices Kai, the character in question, criticized the decision, calling it "upsetting," disenheartening, and stated that "trans stories matter, and...deserve to be heard" and noted her character would be a "straight cis girl" instead.[96] Following the announcement, a petition calling on Disney to reinstate the storyline garnered thousands of signatures.[97] Another character that was censored was Hannah who used they/them pronouns in the original cut.[98]

In July 2025, multiple insiders toldThe Hollywood Reporter that Elio, eponymous protagonist ofthe film with the same name, was originally a "queer coded character" which reflected the identity ofAdrian Molina as an openly gay filmmaker and the film's first director, while others said the film wasn't a "coming out story," with the publication saying that Pixar executives, likePete Docter, pushed Elio to become "more masculine" and a scene suggesting he had a "male crush" was removed. The publication also noted that after Molina left the film, it was re-worked under new directors Madeline Sharafian and Domee Shi, with some expressing disappointment at changes to the film by these directors, feeling the film had been "destroyed" and was about "absolutely nothing." One artist who worked on the film stated that the studio's executives were "constantly sanding down" moments which alluded to Elio's queer sexuality, rather than from Disney itself.[99]

Cancellations

[edit]

In February 2021, Deadline reported that thefilm adaptation ofNimona was cancelled due to the shutdown ofBlue Sky Studios.[100] Webcomics commenter Gary Tyrrell criticized the decision, saying, "[Disney]could have allowed a very different kind of young heroine... I mourn for those who would have found a vision of themselves in an animated version".[101] Sources toldCBR that the film was "75% complete".[102] Anonymous staffers at Blue Sky interviewed byBusiness Insider bemoaned the cancellation of the film, calling it "heartbreaking," arguing that the film "didn't look like anything else in the animated world," and saying that they believe it will never "be completed and released."[103] A few staffers confirmed toBuzzFeed News that the film had an "I love you" scene between Blackheart and Goldenloin.[104] In June 2021, Mey Rude, a writer forOut, said she still held out "hope that this film...will find its way back to life somehow."[105] In July 2021, Meggie Gates inBitch, said the film would have been Disney's first "legitimately queer film" and could have been a turning point "for how the corporation handles queerness" but that the Disney chose to "bury its gays" by cancelling the film, a blow to queer Disney fans.[106]Annapurna Pictures revived the film with the animation being finished byDNEG Animation, and released it onNetflix in 2023.[107]

On October 5, 2021, in anAMA onReddit, Dana Terrace, the creator ofThe Owl House, explained the show was cancelled not because ofratings or theCOVID-19 pandemic, but rather because business people at Disney believed it did not fit "into the Disney brand." She stated that this was the case due to the serialized nature of the show and an audience which "skews older," rather than due to its LGBTQ+ representation, saying she wouldn't "assume bad faith" against those she works withinLos Angeles. She also noted that due to the pandemic, budgets were constrained, episodes were cut, and noted that she wasn't allowed to present a case for a fourth season, and said she believed there was a future for the show ifDisney Television Studios had "different people in charge."[108]

On December 11, 2020, a project byMolly Ostertag, forDisney Television Animation under the nameNeon Galaxy, was registered.[109] In September 2024, Ostertag announced thatNeon Galaxy, a series set "in the distant future," was not moving forward at Disney, noting that it had been cancelled a few months prior despite production work for four and a half years and positive response from "kids who saw materials in early demographic testing" and songs byBetty Who. She also noted that it is a "weird, bad time" in the U.S.animation industry, with difficulty in getting series approved, and hopedThe Animation Guild can win gains from theAlliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers during negotiations for a new contract, and said that "for now, this is a farewell" forNeon Galaxy while adding "maybe one day I’ll be back."[110] In November 2024, following the leak of the shelvedMoon Girl and Devil Dinosaur episode "The Gatekeeper", Ostertag speculated thatNeon Galaxy was "killed" because two members of the main cast were openlytransgender.[111]
