The 1941 Disney animated short THE RELUCTANT DRAGON features a gay (technically queer-coded) dragon who is a reclusive pacifist living in the mountains, avoiding conflict by spending his time conducting songbirds and writing poetry.

Disney loves a queer-coded villain, and their classic 1985

film RETURN TO OZ features two of them.

Scar (Jeremy Irons) in Disney’s 1994 animated feature THE LION KING is one in a long line of queer-coded villains in Disney films.

Ferdinand the Bull is a classic queer-coded character from Disney’s early days, featured in the 1938 animated short of the same name and based on Munro Leaf’s 1936 children’s book “The Story of Ferdinand.”
