BURBANK — As their Pixar collaboration, Finding Nemo, sets box office records, the Walt Disney Company is quietly celebrating another victory: the introduction of Ludmila, the first bi-sexual cartoon character, who appears in the straight-to-video release Little Mermaid III: King Triton's Lagoon.
"We didn't make a big deal of it, because we didn't think it was a big deal," said Disney spokesperson Mandy Wright, acknowledging that Ludmila was "of non-traditional sexual orientation."
In a song called "I Love Everybody," Ariel's sidekick Ludmila sings:
I just don't like to choose, 'cause that leaves someone out,
And if you knew the way I was, you wouldn't have a doubt that I love everybody.
You and you and you.
I love everybody, boys and girls, it's true.
I love everybody, I'll always find a match.
'Cause love's for any fish or creature I can catch.
