Sean Griffin is a critical queer film theory scholar and professor at the Meadows School of the Arts. His work includes Tinker Belles and Evil Queens: The Walt Disney Company from the Inside Out, which was adapted from his dissertation.

Tinker Belles and Evil Queens

Tinker Belles and Evil Queens (2000) suggests that The Walt Disney Company, despite having a focus on heterocentric "family values" in its films, has long attracted gay audiences, particularly through queercoding and gay subtext of its films. It was described by journalist Nico Lang of Harper's Bazaar as "the book on the gay history of Disney". According to Jonathan Alexander, Griffin argues that Disney did this out of economic considerations of LGBT consumers paying for Disney products.

In 2023, Hbomberguy accused James Somerton of plagiarising text from Griffin's Tinker Belles in one of his YouTube video essays.
