HOW GAY IS PIXAR’S LU?
A list of 53 films piled on Letterboxd, cludg Mona Lisa Se (2003), The Imatn Game (2014), The Happy Prce (2018), Jennifer's Body (2009) and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004). About this list: some of the are jt straight up gay also my fn of dark amia is very loose ratgs above 5/10 mean homoerotic relatnships are non or heavily implied * movies with gay undertones *

15 MOVI KNOWN FOR THEIR GAY NTEXT (AND IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW, NOW YOU DO)
For both live-actn and animated movi, the stud has overhyped what have bee known as “exclively gay moments, ” ty morsels of reprentatn that are eher so subtle you hardly notice them (a kiss between two women the background of a Star Wars movie) or so plot-irrelevant that they n be easily chopped or overlooked by ternatnal censors (here’s lookg at you, Endgame’s unnamed Grievg Man). Meanwhile, while Disney has ngratulated self and claimed to blaze new trails, plenty of other animatn studs have been ahead of them: Laika’s ParaNorman, for example, featured an openly gay character way back 2012. Ironilly, the Disney movie that gave the term “exclively gay moment” the first place took a different tack: The live-actn Bety and the Beast’s LeFou is more the spir of the stud’s long-standg tradn of strongly queer-d, if not explicly gay, villas.
Fans have sce picked up on homoerotic unrton Raya and the Last Dragon and the live-actn Mulan, but the movi rema rabow Rorschach tts, wh dienc havg to read between the l or project their own meangs to fd queer reprentatn. How gay is ? Whatever the director’s stated tent, the answer seems to be: as gay as you want to be.
