This might be one of the most high-concept, original animated films ever produced for kids. It's an innovative thought piece about human perception with endearing, complex characters that doesn't talk down on its audience...
Chiming in to say I find it a bit silly to say Alastor wouldn't do something out of 'masculine pride' because Alastor is very much okay with making himself look a bit silly at times. This is the guy who ran around post-extermination Pentagram City shoving a crappy corner in random sinners' faces while interviewing them about a hotel which is a public object of ridicule. Even if he was the kind of person to find a man wearing women's clothing demeaning in some way, he'd still do it.
He is so silly.
Look at him
Look at this guy!
This man too prideful to be silly?
Him and his little roach crown?
Is that the face of seriousness?
You know what they called his duets with his bestie back on Earth?
about being an infomercial where a kiosk at the mall was advertised as being able to 'make you a new bird or dad if you loose yours!'
and the kiosk was just like, a wheel barrow with misc crap on it like bird cages and shit and a sign that said 'dads that are he/him' on it or something along those lines
and I was a mom with a child trying to get her new bird, bought the bird and was like 'we can get the bird a new bigger cage! :)'
but my dream daughter was like, no we have to keep it in the small cage so it can find its baby when its born. which I was confused about but didn't question further
and a lil time skip later the bird gave birth in my dream, in the small cage, and it just had small puddles of milk in it?
Insteed of the way normal birds just plopping the egg out in one go, it was slow like live birth, and it plopped out an egg out
the whole time I was like, why can I hear baby bird crying noises and in an instant just the head of a baby bird poked out of the adult bird and bit into the egg right as I woke up
Love the idea that Griffin Rock could be a vacation place for other aliens, mutants, supernatural beings, or just anything that is not considered normal outside the main island
