\u201cShe\u2019s a lesbian, she\u2019s in space, and she\u2019s also a princess (oh, and she\u2019s very sad!),\u201d trills a musical interlude over this very Australian for-adults-only animated adventure\u2019s title card. And if that sounds endearing as opposed to toe-curling, this candy-coloured inter-gay-lactic voyage, clearly inspired by Rick And Morty<\/em> and streaming service Adult Swim, might be for you.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Princess Saira (voiced by The Pitt<\/em>\u2019s Shabana Azeez) is the painfully insecure daughter of the two queens of queer planet Clitopolis (\u201cfamously hard to find!\u201d). Overshadowed by her uncaring but universally adored mums, incapable of summoning her \u201clabrys\u201d (her destined all-powerful lesbian weapon), and dumped by her super-hot bounty-hunter girlfriend Kiki The Destroyer (Bernie Van Tiel), things are looking pretty bleak. Early on, first-time filmmakers and IRL couple Leela Varghese and Emma Hough Hobbs launch into a hilarious homage to The Twilight Saga: New Moon<\/em>\u2019s break-up montage, with Saira staring glumly out of a window to a funereal soundtrack and screaming into a pillow \u00e0 la Bella Swan having been ditched by Edward Cullen.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s all rather hit-and-miss, and your mileage may also vary with some of the cutesy musical sequences.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n But the film\u2019s funniest moments mostly, and unfortunately, come from the Straight White Maliens, a trio of incel extraterrestrials who kidnap Kiki and lure Saira into handing over her labrys to power their Hot Chick Magnet, obviously. Voiced by the comedy trio Aunty Donna, they\u2019re a brilliant marriage of performance and character design, resembling strips of blinding-white gum with permanently petulant blue eyebrows. There\u2019s a refreshing looseness to their scenes as they ineptly role-play approaching women in bars (\u201cI wore a nice shirt to this bar\u201d, \u201cIt\u2019s making me horny\u201d), and over-explain the rules of a RPG featuring a character named Big Titty Sorcerer.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s a bit of a shame the same can\u2019t be said of all the stabs at humour, which often feel dated and overly safe, relying too heavily on stereotypes or tired gags about monstrous penises. As Saira journeys across space in search of both her labrys and Kiki, she encounters various quirky characters, from a sentient problematic spaceship (a fun turn by Richard Roxburgh) who acts like an Aussie lorry driver, to drag royalty Blade (Kween Kong) and upbeat singer-songwriter Willow (Gemma Chua-Tran). It\u2019s all rather hit-and-miss, and your mileage may also vary with some of the cutesy musical sequences.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n And yet despite its flaws, it\u2019s hard not to be charmed by this scrappy, deeply silly sex-positive sci-fi fantasy. Saira\u2019s true mission, to overcome her literally monstrous self-doubt and love herself without a super-hot girlfriend, feels like a timeless one, and will undoubtedly resonate with LGBTQ+ audiences.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n Unchallenging and sometimes clich\u00e9d but ultimately good queer fun,this just about balances zany humour with earnestness, boosted by terrific comic creations the Straight White Maliens.<\/p>\n Shy princess Saira (voiced by Shabana Azeez) must venture across the galaxy to rescue her ex-girlfriend from the Straight White Maliens. \u201cShe\u2019s a lesbian, she\u2019s in space, and she\u2019s also a princess (oh, and she\u2019s very sad!),\u201d trills a musical interlude over this very Australian for-adults-only animated adventure\u2019s title card.
