<p>The US writer and actress stars alongside Tom Holland and Chris Pratt in animated fantasy adventure Onward.</p>

<p>Waithe, who recently separated from her wife, lends her voice to an LGBT cyclops police officer named Officer Specter.</p>

<p>It is the first openly gay character in an animated Disney or Pixar film. Onward is set in a fantasy world filled with mystical creatures and magic.</p>
<p>Holland and Pratt voice elves and the plot revolves around their attempts to resurrect their late father for 24 hours.</p>
<p>Waithe’s cyclops makes a brief appearance in the film, after pulling over the two main characters.</p>
<p>She mentions her girlfriend before letting Holland and Pratt move on. Disney has previously hinted at same-sex couples in its animated films, but never confirmed their presence.</p>

<p>In 2016’s Finding Dory, two women are seen pushing a pram. When asked if they were lesbians, director Andrew Stanton said: “They can be whatever you want them to be.”</p>
<p>And last year fans thought they spotted a same-sex couple in Toy Story 4 when two women drop a young girl at school. Again, filmmakers refused to confirm if they were gay.</p>
