Lesbian Space Princess 2024
Dumped on her 23rd birthday for being too clingy, anxious and introverted Princess Saira (Shabana Azeez) may yet again endure the humiliation of standing in the Singles Zone at the annual Lesbian Ball. The young space princess has led a sheltered life and even holds the title of Most Boring Royal in the History of Clitopolis, where she lives with her glamorous Queen mums. But when a trio of Straight White Maliens kidnaps her ex-girlfriend Kiki (Bernie Van Tiel), Saira must leave the safety of gay space to rescue her by bringing the Maliens the most powerful weapon known to lesbian kind, the Royal Labrys. However, there is a slight problem… she doesn’t have it.
Saira has 24 hours to locate the labrys, which the Maliens need to complete their chick magnet. Once the most powerful beings in the whole universe, the Maliens now live in exile in their Man Cave in Normie Space. Saira, who literally never goes anywhere ever, must embark on the journey of her lifetime to rescue Kiki, who suffers at the hands of the Maliens – there is only so much talk of Marvel and Dungeons and Dragons she can handle!
Traveling in a bigoted spaceship from the 21st century, Saira must overcome self-doubt and countless dangers, including sentient goo that feeds on bad vibes. Joined by runaway gay-pop idol Willow (Gemma Chua-Tran) who lives to the beat of their own drum, Saira’s inter-gay-lactic quest is a laugh-out-loud, kinky adventure that will have you on the edge of your seat.
Written and directed by Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese in their directorial debut, fans of Adventure Time and Steven Universe will be enamoured by Lesbian Space Princess’s vibrant animation and captivating characters in this touching tale advocating self-love. — Madison Marshall
