FANDOM NAME: Wolfwalkers (2020) WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: It's a standalone movie with a gorgeous artstyle.
"A young apprentice hunter and her father journey to Ireland to help wipe out the last wolf pack. But everything changes when she befriends a free-spirited girl from a mysterious tribe rumored to transform into wolves by night."
The core of the movie is about being your true self and rejecting oppressive authority, so while the action is set in XVII-century Ireland and features Oliver Cromwell and themes of anti-puritanism and anti-colonialism, it's no wonder that many people have also read it as queer. The companionship between the two main girls is wonderful whether you see it as friendship or a kind of first crush/pre-romance. I also love how various characters try to look out for one another and the different (and often hurtful, which is criticised) forms their caring takes. Also, it's just a magical, whimsical movie you can feast your eyes on. The sequences of transforming into wolves are amazing.
FANDOM NAME: Hellfire – annapantsu and Yamz Animatics WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: It's a 5-minute fandom, an animatic of the Hellfire song from The Hunchback of Notre Dame sung by a female voice. Which changes things! The visuals of the video make a good job of exploring that. The song is suddenly about the homosexual desire of (presumably) a nun for a secular girl, which adds another layer of complexity to the lyrics. The characters and the setting are different than in The Hunchback, so the animatic is ripe for exploration.
FANDOM NAME: Borzoi and Xoloitzcuintli centaurs - ink-the-artist WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Another 5-minute (or 1-minute) fandom. It's a post by a wonderfully weird tumblr artist (2 drawings in total). Look at them! They're dog centaurs and they're probably in love. I hope the fandom will be approved because I'd like to know more about the world they live in, their culture, their dresses, how they've met each other and what their lives are like.
