Time to find a new cartoon series, I decided to start with something short (and hopefully sweet). So, I’ve watched “Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts” episode 1. Heard that it has some good representation, cool visual and soundtrack. Well, I enjoyed it: the plot is pretty simple, some apocalypse (or whatever) happens in 2020 (seems realistic) and now everybody lives underground, only rogues and mutated animals live on the surface. An underground girl (everybody calls her “burrow girl”) ends up there after some earthquake and now tries to find her way back home. She meets a lot of odd animals, including a blue pig “with an extra pair of everything”, a mega bunny and a gang of frogs wearing suits (they are like the mafia). She also meets a girl (certainly younger than Kipo herself) – she’s tough and severe but decides to help Kipo because without her she just won’t survive. I enjoyed this episode, the soundtrack sure is cool and the visual pretty unusual, I hope to get more information about the world a little more in the later episodes.
Current Mood: Crying While Watching Blue’s Clues Pride Song
It’s sung to the tune of The Ants Go Marching One By One song!!!
Another reason why Blues Clues and You is like the best reboot ever
some highlights from the notes
Stop.
Oh, my god. I’m already crying with asexuality included.
Now you’re telling me other groups feel the same way?
There’s legit tears down my face.

The more you look at it the more you love it.
The drag queen is holding a BLM sign.
There’s a Hijabi on the all races float (and if you look closely at the flag, I think the owl is indigenous).
One of the babas is disabled.
They could have just stopped at including all the flags.
But no. They said “I don’t care if they’re animals. I’m going to make it very clear we’re including all races and disabled people.”
And it’s such small details, but they’re there.

Found 2 more hidden BLM flags.
And I consider myself pretty versed in queer identities, but even I don’t know what some of these flags are.
Which really shows that you’ve never had the opportunity to feel validated like this, and that makes me love it even more.

I already made my own post about this as well, but it seems like a good idea to add the info on this post too, since it’s really taken off. There are (at least) 30 different flags plus assorted other representation. They include:
Pride, Progress Pride, BLM Progress Pride, Lesbian, Gay Man
Trans, Nonbinary — Dolphin wheelchair user, Top surgery beaver
Bigender, Genderflux, Omnisexual, Neutrois, Maverique, Pangender, Drag — llama(?) with prosthetic leg
Trigender, Ally, Two-Spirit, and Gender Questioning — Hijabi owl and Native American owl
I’m so fucking happy for the LGBTQ+ kids that have things like this to let them know they’re valid
This much representation including stuff I’ve never fucking seen before
and in a KIDS show, like that’s insane, people will finally grow up knowing it’s ok to exist
Blues clues did their research, said LGBTQ+ rights and fucking meant it bruh
