A new trailer for Finding Dory has prompted speculation that the film could be the first in Disney Pixar’s history to include a lesbian couple.
The latest trailer for the film, a sequel to 2003’s Finding Nemo, debuted on The Ellen Show last week – and follows the eponymous amnesiac fish, voiced by Ellen DeGeneres, as she sets off on a journey to discover her family.
But one particular moment has sparked rumours that the film will include a lesbian couple – and occurs when an octopus appears to knock a baby out of a pram.
As the girl’s presumed parents turn around, they both appear to be women – sparking suggestion that the film could mark a progressive milestone in Pixar’s history.
