[Recommended Watch] “How Queer Characters Have Evolved In Children’s Animation | Movies Insider”

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This video from Insider came out two years ago but still stands as a great, brief summarization of LGBTQ+ representation in (predominantly) US animation. I’d like to recommend this watch to anyone vaguely interested in the topic of representation and its role in media today.  It is a short watch, totaling about 12 minutes, and helps to define major … Continue reading [Recommended Watch] “How Queer Characters Have Evolved In Children’s Animation | Movies Insider”

The kishoutenketsu is a narrative form that actually … Continue reading Recommended Watch: Anime’s Hidden Four-Act Story Structure (kishoutenketsu)

By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers I didn’t know Dead End: Paranormal Park existed until a few days ago, but it has perfectly filled the “spooky summer” urge that I’ve had this entire month. Produced by Netflix and based on a series of graphic novels by Hamish Steele, this animated show is almost surprising in just how good it is.
