≥2nd rewatch, I remain ~awed by Disney channel cartoon Star vs the Forces of Evil [2012–19;4 seasons = 77ep × 22min, most split into two 11m segments]’s pivot

from “Kick-ass :3/XD-Magical Girl Fish-out-of-Water Slice-of-Life antics” S1

into “Settler Colonialism of Past is an Ongoing, Violent Evil, & Inseparable from Our ‘Good’ Institutions [the titular protagonists & her closest allies]“ as central driver of serialized plot from midpoint to end

IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2758770/

it gets there more smoothly than you’d think, and once there, spends some time on all of at least:
- the ways in which prejudice is taught as intrinsic, is reinforced by lack of exposure to the vilified
- settler and indigenous population’s dehumanization of one another
- the capriciousness of caste boundaries (for the bourgeois in comparison to the proletariat; and where “passing” is concerned)
- the leveraging of biased history & science into material harms, as well as martial violence
- key roles some technology plays in both enabling & entrenching (normalizing) outrageous cruelty

…I mean … it’s still a children’s (TV-Y7) cartoon, and it’s far from perfect and it rushes to a half-baked less than satisfying conclusion. But i would still recommend if you are into the hopepunk-ish cartoon thing . It’s On Disney+ & Hulu, inter alia

Went to check the Sugarcube Animation’s building today and it seems their address is bogus because the building got destroyed and replaced. Or maybe it’s their new building?

I didn’t expect anything anyway since it’s a production company with a shitload of NDAs on their back, not an amusement park.

Anyway the area is cool.
