TikToker and former Disney parks employee @alimbriano explained how the costumed characters who recently went viral—like Clarabell Cow and Elastigirl—are likely played by tall gay men.

We have not all been to go to one of the many Disney parks around the world, but we've all probably seen at least one of the viral videos featuring memorable Disney characters.

The funny thing is that the characters aren't being memorialized for their role in a beloved Disney film, but for their recent performances at Disney.

One current favorite is Elastigirl from The Incredibles and The Incredibles 2, specifically for her fantastic spin on an incredi-mobile during an Incredibles parade at Disney World.

The way she slayed all of us! #disneyland #theincredibles #pixarfest #disney #fyp

Fans found that spin to be, well, incredible.

Another big favorite was Mickey Mouse and Goofy's friend Clarabelle eating up the spotlight.

Its the slow turn for me! #clarabelle #disneyland #queen #disneycharacters

Fans' jaws dropped over that slow spin and not just because Clarabelle is a gorgeous, tall cow!

With fans still reeling, former Disney employee Adrianna (@alimbriano) shared a potential commonality behind the fun performances.

In her own video, Adrianna shared a clip of the trending Elastigirl performance, followed by her own guess at what was going on behind the scenes—namely, who was portraying these characters.

In her experience at one of Disney World's parks, it was common for characters to be cast based on the employees' height rather than gender, so it was common for the taller characters, like Elastigirl and Clarabelle, to be portrayed by men from the LGBTQ+ community.

The former Disney employee also argued that this was why these particular characters were so popular.

Adrianna suggests:

"Nine times out of ten, the person inside that costume is a tall, gay man."
"I think that’s why they’re able to capture the essence of the characters so well [and serve]so well, because that’s what gay men were born to do."
@alimbriano

#stitch with @Janelle Isanan 9/10 the people who are “friends” with Mrs Incredible are gay men 💅🏻 #disney

Some TikTokers who were also former Disney employees were able to confirm this theory.

Others felt validated for their assumptions about the character performances.

A few TikTokers who hadn't thought of this possibility before thought it made perfect sense.

Whether or not Adrianna is right about the current actors portraying Elastigirl and Clarabelle, the most important thing is that the character employees are having a good time, the guests attending the parks are having a good time, and the magic of Disney, childhood, and nostalgia are being preserved.

And I think we can all agree that these recent viral performances are perfectly magical.

Fox News reporter Alex Hogan made an awkward admission about how Greenlanders feel about President-elect Donald Trump's threats to buy the island territory, noting that "most" don't support or appreciate his push to take control of it.
