“Lesbian Space Princess” Lands as a Vibrant, Joyful Queer Utopian Escape
Sydney, Australia – A new animated film, Lesbian Space princess, is garnering attention for its bold visuals, witty script, and heartwarming portrayal of queer joy. Released this week, the film offers a refreshing and much-needed escape into a vibrant, utopian world where love and acceptance conquer all.
The film centers on Saira, a space princess grappling with self-doubt, who must embark on a 24-hour journey too save the universe from incel aliens. Lesbian Space Princess boasts a stellar voice cast including comedians jordan Raskopoulos and Madeline sami, alongside a cameo from reuben kaye and a memorable role for Drag Race Down Under favorite Kween Kong as the drag queen Blade.
Despite its lighthearted premise, the script is praised for its sly wit and clever wordplay. The narrative doesn’t shy away from playful absurdity – featuring locations like “Clitopolis” and a dancing “royal pussy” – but balances these gags with stronger, more thoughtful jokes and self-aware moments where characters even consult the script itself.
Visually, the film employs a bold, sketchy 2D animation style with a luminous palette referencing queer flags. It’s packed with background gags and visual references to magical girl anime like Sailor Moon and revolutionary Girl Utena, and also nods to classic animation and genre films. The soundtrack features original, wistful guitar songs by Varghese, adding emotional depth to the comedic narrative.
While Saira’s journey of self-love isn’t a new trope, the film handles it with sensitivity, creating a surprisingly fleshed-out character. Ultimately, Lesbian Space Princess presents a world where both lightheartedness and genuine emotion can coexist, offering a hopeful vision of a less fraught future and a powerful balm for audiences seeking a welcoming, queer-affirming escape.
