The first time I watched Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers, the queer analogy jumped out at me plain as day, especially when relating to the characters as a trans/nonbinary person. In this video, I analyze the film through a queer lens, and explore the themes of queer identity, gender expectations, and their roles in colonialism!
