The reboot of the Disney classic will closely follow the plot of the original show, which was released in Adolescent lion cub Simba is on the run following his father&#;s brutal murder by his villainous uncle, Scar. But there will be a twist in the tale: following the success of the gay moment in &#;Beauty and the Beast&#;, the production will see a plot twist to bring a modernised telling of the story.

Disney has been around for decades, creating a network that is fit for all individuals — including the queer people. As the network spread continues, we learn that many of the characters in the Disney series have represented the Queer community. Some characters are speculated to be gender non-conforming, as others were known.
For generations, Disney has created movies and series that represent togetherness. Disney provides hope for our future even when the rest of the society doesn&#;t agree with the decisions. We dive into the characters we accept were representing the Diverse community.
Disney&#;s History with the LGBTQ+ community
Throughout history, Disney has stood with the people, especially with the LGBTQ+ community. During the late s, Disney started recognizing queer folks. Gender non-conforming coding began to progress in Disney movies and series such as &#;Toy Story,&#; &#;Beauty and the Beast,&#; &#;Mulan,&#; and more.

Ready for a boiling take? I don’t always love animated films. Give me the crappy cut-out look of South Park or the gloriously fluid aged school Looney Tunes shorts, but otherwise, I sometimes experience like my eyes are bleeding. I don’t mean to take anything away from the incredibly talented artisans who have brought so much joy and wonder to the world. It’s an eyeball thing. Speaking of which, I also don’t love the eyeballs on Disney characters. They’re so big and round and adorable . I think I know one person in the nature with eyes enjoy that and everyone calls him Aladdin, but it’s not really a compliment. Everyone else I know squints and looks dead inside. Maybe I deserve new friends, or maybe I’m just cranky.
All of this is to say that despite the cries that Hollywood operates at a bankrupt artistic standstill, that cash grabs represent the new normal filled with remakes and reboots, and that cynical decisions only occur on days that end in “Y”, I don’t necessarily hate that Disney has decided to churn out “live action” versions of their classic animated films. As much as I loved the origi
Queer Coded: Scar ("The Lion King")
I&#;m sure there&#;s going to be someone out there that&#;s going to say, &#;What, Monique? This is a lion! Scar doesn&#;t count!&#; Yeah, he&#;s a lion, invisible person who doubts my logic. But that doesn&#;t represent Disney, or any other studio, for that matter, won&#;t stoop to putting some Hollywood queer coding on a non-human nature. They made Simba and Kovu hot, didn&#;t they? (Don&#;t even act favor you didn&#;t think they were as a kid!) They&#;re lions, too, and putting human sexuality on animals is disturbing.
So what makes Scar a gay coded character? To quote Feminist Disney, queerness is &#;[a] character that is given certain characteristics that are likely to reference &#;queerness&#; in the audience’s subconscious.&#; As a character, Scar is not only a villain because he has meglomaniacal and fratricidal urges. Those urges are couched and, to a certain extent, repackaged, as effiminate and slight tendencies. Watch this scene between Scar and Mufasa:
First of all: This is such a good scene. I&#;m a big Lion Kin
