May's sister Gemma has become a goth overnight, causing May to explore the fantastical reasons for the sudden change, while also going on a journey of self-discovery.
The “gay best friend”, an age-old trope, has been done in countless films and television series. Ranging from one-note (Sex and the City's Stanford and Mario) to nuanced (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Tituss), the gay best friend exists to support and advise the main protagonist, with their conflicts swept to the side.
This list was made with the intention of celebrating the craft. I love seeing more women of colour on this list than before and more newcomers on the scene as well!
This powerful story shines with poetic animation, an exploration of deeper truths, and the protagonist's complex search for identity.
An adventure that centers on freedom and captures viewers' hearts.
