For our first Queer Up, we tackle one of the most influential animated films of all time: Disney's The Little Mermaid. We dig into its queer legacy and themes - both that of the 1989 film but also the original story by Hans Christian Andersen - to see how we can turn it into an explicit story of self-acceptance, transitioning, and community. And why Flounder needs to end up on the cutting room floor.
