"En avant", the next production from Pixar studios, which will hit theaters on March 4, will feature a lesbian character. A first for a Disney animated film, even if the subject will be approached timidly. A spin-off centered on this lesbian character could also see the light of day.

Pixar, the American production company known for Toy Story and Vice-Versa in particular, will bring up an openly lesbian character on the screen. A big first for Disney, which bought Pixar in 2006. The cartoon En avant will be released in French cinemas on March 4. The film follows the adventures of two elven brothers who try to resuscitate their missing father through ancient forms of magic. They come across Specter, a policewoman, a sort of cyclops unicorn, lesbian.

A spin-off on the lesbian character of Specter in preparation?

But don't expect to see a kiss on the screen. The character will simply refer to his girlfriend, whom the viewer will not see. Specter will tell another character that his girlfriend's daughter is having his hair pulled out. Subtle therefore.

Director Dan Scanlon explained that he wanted to represent the modern world in this fantastic universe. Kori Rae, the producer of the film, plans to make a spin-off, that is to say another film, centered on this character of Specter.
