** {{Prince Charm|less}}ing is rather effeminate and voiced by the openly gay Creator/RupertEverett. Although he wants to marry Princess Fiona, it seems to only be so he can become king of Far Far Away.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}'': Shang developing feelings for "Ping" is textbook SweetOnPollyOliver, but some have interpreted him as being gay but not living in a time or place where he can be open. Many, many, ''many'' parody works have taken this idea and ran with it.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'': Besides Oaken's soft and somewhat effeminate personality, his family in the sauna seems to consist of a young man and four boys. However, it isn't clear if one of the members who appears to be a child is actually the young man's female partner or a different relative (such as a younger brother or cousin). Oaken says "Hi family!" but they might not even be directly related to him. In ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'', there's a shot where a group of Arendellians are celebrating and he lifts up a man into a hug.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'': The special features give profiles on a number of OneSceneWonder heroes, among them being the lovable deceased dope, Thunderhead. It's noted that he was "good with kids" in the film, which the features expand to "has adopted five kids, and is raising them with his roommate, Scott." It's not hard to make the connection that "roommate" was a bit of a weasel word, especially considering the time the film takes place.
* ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'': Both Evelyn Deavor and Karen aka "Voyd" are coded as gay. Interestingly these two characters are coded gay with overt traits without having to resort to caricaturish mannerisms, as is usually the case.
** Evelyn is a stylish dresser with short, messy, pixie-crop hair. She is noted by her design team to "balance both the masculine and feminine" in her aesthetic choices. She's depicted as a smokey voiced middle-aged woman with languid body language, who can never sit correctly in a chair. She shares what could be read as [[FoeRomanceSubtext some flirtatious scenes with Elastigirl]], including some suggestive moments.
** Voyd is a shy and socially awkward fledgling superhero with green-blue hair in a side-cut style. She idolizes Elastigirl and states that she "felt like an outcast before" when she had to hide her powers. When asked about the possibility of Voyd being transgender on Twitter, her voice actress, Sophia Bush, assured fans that she wouldn't have taken the role if she'd been aware that were explicitly the case in the text and that she would have wanted it to go to a trans voice actress, but she also hoped that Voyd would continue to make queer young people feel seen.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'': Unlike the games, where he was a ParentalSubstitute for Bowser, Kamek's devotion to the king of Koopas ranges closer to a friend with an unreciprocated crush. When Bowswer questions if Peach likes Mario, Kamek insists he look in the mirror and he has nothing to worry about. Later, when Bowser dresses Kamek like Peach to practice his proposal to her, Kamek gets a little too in character when he says yes and puckers his lips.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'': Benjamin Clawhauser acts very effeminate at times. He is obsessed with Gazelle, a female pop star, with no apparent component of attraction. Some of his body language suggests it, and he has a soft lispy voice. He also has an exceptionally elated reaction to discovering Chief Bogo is also a Gazelle fan. It's made more ambiguous by the movie's tendency to play some stereotypes straight and invert, subvert, or defy others.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'':
** Miss Charlotte "Lottie" [=LaBouff=]. Some have wondered if Charlotte is a lesbian, either [[ClosetGay secretly]] or [[TransparentCloset obliviously]]. Whenever she talks of marrying a prince, she only seems interested in the status of a princess and living a life like her fairy tales. She never says anything about having a husband to love her, and doesn't seem to have ''any'' interest in Naveen beyond "he's a prince." In fact, she never even really alludes to finding him (or any man) attractive. While her being so willing to have a FourthDateMarriage with "Naveen" could easily just be her GoldDigger and ThinksLikeARomanceNovel tendencies, it could also be because she figures, hey, she'll never get to be with someone she actually loves, so she may as well settle down with someone who can let her live out her princess fantasy. She is also very attached to her BFF Tiana, to the point of sacrificing her lifelong dream for her without a second of hesitation.

** Prince John: Behaves very [[PsychopathisManchild childishly]] and [[SissyVillain effeminately]] and is very ProneToTears. You could also get the impression that he's flirting with Little John when the latter shows up wearing pink and fawning over the Prince.

** Hugo the gargoyle was this in the first film as he displayed some gay mannerisms through his body language, his cross dressing as Esmerelda during one of the songs, and his apparent crush on Djali, who is Esmerelda's pet goat who she referred to as a "he". The ambiguity becomes a lot less foggy in the sequel when Djali apparently returns Hugo's feelings for him.

* Kuzco from ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'' is extremely flamboyant and vain, shows no interest in women and is even disgusted by the potential brides he's shown at the beginning of the movie, and he only shows affection to another man. In the sequel TV series, he's given a female love interest, but many fans of the movie wouldn't consider that canon anyway.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'':
** Queen Elsa, what with her spending her entire life hiding something she was born with and how she became much happier once she embraced it; to the point that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moSFlvxnbgk her big song]] has been called [[http://www.afterellen.com/what-gay-girls-can-get-from-frozen/02/2014/ "an gay anthem"]]. ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'' adds onto this with Elsa's arc and her new big song being [[RainbowLens easy to interpret]] as a ComingOutStory, her LesYay with Honeymaren, and her [[GirlsHaveCooties dislike of romance]] as a child. When asked about her sexuality, [[ShrugOfGod Jennifer Lee]] stated it was best left unsaid. On the other hand, she herself [[CrossoverShip ships Elsa with]] [[WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph Ralph]], so maybe she considers Elsa's sexuality to be up to viewer interpretation or just wants to avoid ShipToShipCombat in the movie's fandom. Later, she gave this comment:
-->''"We know what we made. But at the same time, I feel like once we hand the film over and it belongs to the world, so I don't like to say anything and let the fans talk. I think it is up to them. Disney films were made in different eras, different times, and we celebrate them all for different reasons, but this one was made in 2013 and is going to have a 2013 point of view."''
** There's been a scuffle amongst ''Frozen'' fans when it comes to Oaken. When he's talking to Anna he points to a family in the sauna. Many think they're ''his'' family. It's been argued the only adult is the blond man and the familiarity between Oaken and them suggests they're related, while others think the oldest brunette is an adult woman instead of a teenager and she's the blond guys wife. ''WesternAnimation/OlafsFrozenAdventure'' canonizes that they're his family but doesn't explain it further than that.



** Alex: with his flamboyant, Broadway-style dance maneuvers, [[{{Keet}} overexcited personality]] and [[HoYay suspiciously close relationship with his best friend, Marty the zebra]]. It's also been pointed out that his interaction with his father seems like a metaphor for a ComingOutStory. Come the third movie [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday he is given]] a LoveInterest in the form of Gia, but considering their relationship could just as easily be interpreted as friendship, there is the problematic matter of [[YoungerThanTheyLook her age]], and Alex is...[[HoYay rather close]] to the gruff, butch tiger Vitaly, nothing is really resolved.
