Madagascar: A Little Wild, Hulu's spin-off of the popular Dreamworks film franchise, has introduced a non-binary character voiced by a non-binary actor.

Season 3 episode “Whatever Floats Your Float” introduces Odee the Okapi to the adolescent gang. Okapis are Central African animals that are often thought of as zebra giraffes.

The episode takes "place in the lead up to the habitat’s annual Animal Pride Parade. When Marty meets the habitat's newest resident Odee, Marty can't decide what float Odee should join. Are they a zebra? Or a giraffe? In Marty's personal mission to define what kind of animal Odee is, he is missing out on celebrating all the wonderful things that make Odee who they are."




Odee is voiced by non-binary actor Ezra Menas. "If I would have seen this when I was a kid, I don't even know what I would've done," Menas said in a statement. "This kind of acceptance and love and celebration, I think, is the biggest takeaway from this episode. It's just a beautiful thing. Makes me cry."

As them points out, "The Okapi is also an endangered species and, when considering the full-fledged attack on trans and non-binary kids overtaking state legislatures across the country, this feels like an intentional and apt metaphor."

1. If he saw this when he was a kid, he wouldn't know what to do because claiming to be non-binary was unheard of. I looked it up, and this dude is 30 years old, crying over a children's cartoon.

2. Comparing the (rightful) bullying of trans and non-binary faggots to endangered animals. That seems pretty damn tasteless, for some reason. The animals don't an hero themselves for their own stupid mistakes.

except that okapis are in fact, giraffes. They just look a bit like zebras.

which does make this a perfect analogy for trannies trying to pass, but not for the reasons they think.
 
But...people like that are not an endangered species, their population is increasing. Unless of course you're referring to how almost half of them end up self-destructing at some point, I could see the argument in that.
 
Isn't having a parade with a float for each species like having a racial pride parade and not being able to figure out which float the hapa rides on?

I miss when DreamWorks actually made quality shit, which was back when DreamWorks and DreamWorks Animation were still apart of the same entity (which stopped being so in 2004 holy fuck time flies)

Bite your tongue! Kung Fu Panda, Megamind, and How to Train Your Dragon were good, and I'll defend Rise of the Guardians. But the Spirit movie, Antz, and Joseph were pretty bad iirc. And didn't Shark Tale come out in 2004?

Antz was pretty good it just has a really fucking weird mildly gross looking artstyle. There's also the weird connection it has to Bugs life, I think it was the original script or some shit like that? Anyways whatever fucking happened there the movies are linked production wise in some weird fucking way and due to this we have 2 solid 3d animated comedy adventure movies about ants.

This shit ain't even close to ANTZ quality. Ever notice the title is ANTZ because it's literally a movie about and ANT named Z? Yeah you aren't gonna get that kinda wordplay in modern film titles.
