It's only a matter of time and circumstance before Disney movies feature homosexual characters or "families," according to one of the company's animators.
In a little-noticed story by the Australian news website News.com.au, animator Andreas Deja, who reported working on the Disney films "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin" and "The Lion King," said the company is open to the concept of homosexual entertainment.
"Is there ever going to be a family that has two dads or two mums? Time will tell," he said. "I think once they find the right kind of story with that kind of concept, they will do it.
"It has to be the right kind of story and you have to find that first," said Deja, according to News.com.au.
Disney, which already allows various "gay days" and other such events at its theme parks, is a "gay-friendly" company, Deja said. The report cited "Lion King" contributor Elton John as well as the late Howard Ashman, who worked on the lyrics to "The Little Mermaid."
Deja said that the Disney characters already come from a wide range of backgrounds – such as Cinderella's step-family, Aladdin's street life and Bambi's motherless childhood.
He tried to be reassuring, however, in saying, "We won't all of a sudden make R-rated films."

He-man definitely liked the ladies and the ladies definitely liked him in that series.

This is the same Disney of The Chronicles of Narnia and Night of Joy, right? I’m skeptical that they would do this under the Disney label.
Last I read, Minnie was addicted to the crack cocaine and turning tricks down on the seedy side of Sunset Blvd.

I can see it now, a remake of the Lion King.
It’ll be a touching tale of a young cub who is mistreated and abused by his father, who runs away and joins a troop of cross dressing chimp-pansies where he learns about sex and coordinating hand bags with high heels becoming...

I didn’t read yours before hitting post. Honest.

Bingo. As far as I’m concerned, Disney has been anti-family ever since Walt died. The overwhelming subtext has been ‘follow your inner-whatever’ and happiness is whatever and wherever that inner-dealy takes you. So far, it’s been centered on straight ‘love’ but the stories have been veering into territory about the nature of relationships and social structure. Most definitely brainwashing.
A notable exception:
Oops! I forgot, we're not supposed to mention that film. Never mind, y'all. ;-)
I hadn't heard that. Sad.

Scar was meant to be a gay character. At one point, Cymba tells Scar ‘you are so weird’ to which Scar replies ‘you have no idea’.

Indeed! Although in addition, you may want to consider converting them to DVD or finding DVD copies of those classics to be sure they are playable. ;-)
