disney villains are almost always coded as gay but they’re very often coded as jewish too and i don’t know why that isn’t talked about more
tangled is an example that always comes to mind. gothel is literally a jewish surname and she’s the only character who...looks like that. it’s not great, people
the big bad wolf from disney’s three little pigs cartoon is meant to resemble a jewish door-to-door salesman (which was common at the time.) this “rebranded” 1933 design (the first one was human, look it up if u dare) shares characteristics with some of disney’s modern villains.
just be mindful, especially in kids films, of how the villain is being coded. is he flamboyant? is she overbearing? are they not as aryan looking as the rest of the cast? what kind of message is this sending, especially to a child, about what kind of person is fundamentally bad?
