Girls Night Out 

An animated short film that never gets old, especially with iconic characters from the Disney series.

There’s been a longstanding criticism of sci-fi films about its lack of Black characters. For the past few years, Anthony Mackie has been successfully representing Black masculinity in the otherwise homogenous genre and I am here for it.
