For #pridemonth we're celebrating #LGBTQ #animation and this week, it's #film.
It took almost ten years after yesterday's film, ParaNorman, but The Mitchells vs. The Machines was the first animated film to feature an LGBTQ character as the lead. What sets the film apart though, is that Katie's weirdness is sensitively shown as stemming from something other than her queerness; a realistic subversion of how such characters are normally portrayed.
