Bear gay cartoons

Bit by bit, overtly gay characters are making inroads into animation targeted primarily at children. Meanwhile, How to Train Your Dragon 2 includes a character who is implied to be gay —albeit only in a throwaway line ad-libbed by his voice actor. Are the days in which a homosexual man in Sailor Moon had to be rewritten as a woman for the English dub gone forever? Such progress could never be made without a backlash, however.

Yogi Bear is an anthropomorphic funny animal who has appeared in numerous comic books, animated television shows and films. He made his debut in as a supporting character in The Huckleberry Hound Show. Yogi Bear was the first breakout character in animated television; he was created by Hanna-Barbera and was eventually more popular than Huckleberry Hound.

But it turns out that one of the 10 original bears — Funshine Bear, the yellow bear with a smiling sun on its tummy — has been proclaimed by some as a trans Care Bear, because his gender seems to have shifted from female to male over his film and TV appearances. But from to the present day, Funshine Bear has been voiced by men. The truth is that lots of animated cartoons have their male characters voiced by women. Women typically have higher-pitched voices than men, which explains this phenomenon.

This list includes fictional characters in animated cartoons , adult animation , and anime. Harry Benshoff and Sean Griffin write that animation has always "hint[ed] at the performative nature of gender" such as when Bugs Bunny puts on a wig and a dress, he is a rabbit in drag as a human male who is in drag as a female.
