"The Lion King (2019)": Did Disney actually learn anything?
Disney has hopefully learned some lessons since 1994. Are those lessons reflected in the 2019 remake of "The Lion King?"
Hetero (2021)
Five friends—Quinn, Sarai, Zel, Mickey, and Cohen—embark on a mission to save their high school’s gay-straight alliance following their principal’s orders to diversify the group by “recruiting” straight students. To achieve this quixotic aim of straight-washing their GSA, each of the five becomes the “gay best friend” of select peers while also riding the roller coaster of being queer in high school, as they fall in love, form their chosen family, come out, and discover pride within themselves.
