Trans Allegories in Film: 'Nimona' (2023)
Animation as a medium of storytelling can be thought to be open to all ages and as I hope my reading will reveal, 'Nimona' could be interpreted as a transgender story.
Yellow Pages (1999)
Jack of all trades and master of none, Al Baxter stays afloat by working four jobs. As if that weren't enough, happenstance leads Al to place four ads in the phone book, resulting in four more jobs. Trouble is, none of them is real. Now, Al has to juggle his actual responsibilities with his make-believe ones, all the while trying to extricate himself from an FBI sting, a stolen microchip scam and hordes of Chinese tourists.
