We love these characters!
Pixar
We're always on the lookout for LGBTQ+ characters in our favorite films, including our animated faves! While representation is improving, we like to think queer characters have been here all along. So with that in mind, here are 12 Pixar characters we've decided pretty are definitely part of our little rainbow family.
Woody from Toy Story
Pixar
Name aside, Woody is a strong, loyal, and sometimes flamboyant character within the Toy Story universe. He cares about things in a way only someone who identifies on the LGBTQ+ spectrum could, and he makes for a highly compelling main character.
Dory from Finding Nemo/Dory
Pixar
Despite the fact that Dory is voiced by one of the most iconic LGBTQ+ voices in modern times, her quirky and carefree attitude makes her an ideal lesbian character.
Sadness from Inside Out
Pixar
Let's be real, any lesbian trying to emotionally invest in lesbian TV characters in recent years has quite literally turned into Sadness at some point. Maybe we're taking this a little too personally, but this very recent venture from Pixar hit a little too close to home.
Heimlich from A Bug's Life
Pixar
This circus performing caterpillar-turned-beautiful butterfly just wanted to have a nice life and leave the haters behind. Also, this serves as a great reminder that you should definitely re-watch the forgotten classic that is A Bug's Life.
Violet from The Incredibles
Pixard
Let's be real, at one point or another, who hasn't had a crush on a cartoon? For some little queer kids, it was Violet, whose mysterious dark aura, half-hidden face under badass Pixar hair, and Sara Vowell vocals won us over immediately. The Incredibles' sequel has been a long time coming, but it couldn't possibly be more super it if it also involved Violet's coming out.
Anton Ego from Ratatouille
Pixar
We don't have a whole lot of hard and fast reasoning here, but we do love imagining that France's fiercest food critic and his partner of many years jointly helped open "La Ratatouille" together. Let the fanfiction commence.
Merida from Brave
Pixar
Merida fought tooth and claw (quite literally) to be in control of her marriage prospects, and we sure as hell hope that when she was granted the right to choose her own partner, she changed her fate to lesbianism.
Slinky Dog from Toy Story
Pixar
This is the most sexual we'll ever get in an article about mostly G-rated cartoons, but we just can't let it go that Slinky Dog is both a top and a bottom.
Some car somewhere in Cars
So many Cars films, so many probably gay cars. After all, if these cars are going to have love interests, then we assume somewhat similar statistics apply and that they're are not forced to conform to any particular car sexuality. Representation comes in all forms, after all.
Sully from Monster's Inc
Pixar
We all know and love James P. Sullivan, but maybe we love him all that much more because he's definitely Pixar's version of a bear.
These pelicans from Finding Nemo
Pixar
Hey, maybe the Finding Nemo franchise has been setting us for a same-sex couple for a while. Who's to say these two pelicans weren't out for a romantic, moonlit swim together before that errant bubble ruined the evening? There's just no way of knowing, so we've decided they're in love.
Kevin from Up
Pixar
Look at Kevin. He's just straight up a walking Pride parade. Which reminds us: happy Pride month from all these potentially LGBT Pixar characters!
