Kori Rae, one of the producers of Onward, was interviewed by Yahoo and said, “The scene, when we wrote it, was kind of fitting and it opens up the world a little bit, and that’s what we wanted.”

Director Dan Scanlon said, “It’s a modern fantasy world and we want to represent the modern world.”

Are you surprised that Pixar hasn’t introduced a gay/lesbian character before now?
