ParaNorman (2012): "Not All Gay Men Are Twinks"
Manage episode 367144091 series 2805588
We'd say we didn't know how badly we needed ParaNorman (2012) on our Spooky Tuesday Pride Month lineup until we saw it, but Sydney definitely did. With everything going on in today's ~*~political climate~*~ (and despite this movie being a decade old), the stop-motion masterpiece feels more timely than ever. It's not just that it was the first animated film to feature a canonically queer character, although it totally was, just FYI. It's also that the whole story challenges viewers to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to the central message that it's OK to be different. If you still need convincing, we'll go ahead and say this: It's cozy horror, babes. Haven't you heard that's all the rage?
