Quite a few years ago I ended up at a screening of a bunch of queer short films which were all really great. The three I remember were a film where a nasa-scientist turned superhero/slacker, fed up with her landlord’s shenanigans, employs science, orange peel, and a fortune teller to turn her brooklyn apartment into an awesome rocket. There was also “Bad Jews in my Kitchen”, a conversation about religious vs secular/cultural Jewish identity among lesbians.
But what’s relevant here is a film whose name I don’t know, but it was a clever remix of tons of old disney movies, overdubbed with chopped up Ani di Franco songs. (Don’t groan, a lot of us needed her then like teenagers need angst.) It started with lots of Cinderellas and Snow Whites expressing a growing confusion about their identities as pretty girls, and by the end, all of them have rebelled and tossed their respective princes to the curb. It was tres adorable.

Disney gave me the kind of hair that all the other girls envy.

Dude, it’s so true. I was obsessed with figuring out how to make my hair like Ariel’s as a kid. Or at least like Launchpad McQuack’s.
It’s undoubtedly why I dyed my hair red, but I’ve never achieved that buoyancy.

I used to shave the hair off of my barbies and disney dolls and dye it with food coloring. BIG SHOCKER, EH?
