More Queer Erasure from Pixar

About a week after we dropped our episode on Pixar's latest,
Elio, The Hollywood Reporter posted a piece shedding more light
on Adrian Molina's original vision for the film.


We were not surprised to learn that the extensive rework of Elio
included explicit instructions to make the main character more
masculine and less queer-coded. It didn't stop us from being
angry about it.

Erasure of Queer Themes


If you're also sick of Pixar movies that aren't allowed to be
gay, check out our Special Presentation
miniseries featuring non-Pixar movies and television aimed at
children and families that include clear, unafraid, and
unambiguous depictions of queerness.
