Season 2 Finale: Finding Queerness in Animation

Did you know that Ursula from The Little Mermaid was based on the legendary drag queen Divine? Nevertheless, queer representation in animated films, for children or adults, is few and far between. This and other tidbits await on this episode as we leave no queer stone unturned and ask, why isn’t there more positive LGBTQ+ content in animation? We also talk with animation filmmaker Thinh Nguyen, a graduate of the Viborg Animation Workshop, about her work.

Vidste du, at Ursula fra Den lille havrue er baseret på den legendariske drag queen Divine? Ikke desto mindre er queer repræsentation i tegnefilm, både for voksne og børn, sjældent. I sæsonens sidste afsnit kigger vi under alle queer sten for at spørge, hvorfor er der ikke mere positivt LGBTQ+ indhold i tegnefilm? Vi taler også med animationsfilmskaberen Thinh Nguyen, som er uddannet fra Viborg Animation Workshop, om hendes arbejde.
