LESBIAN SPACE PRINCESS

Live. Laugh. Lesbian. This zany, Australian animated sci-fi comedy won the Teddy Award for Best Queer Film

A shy space princess has to embark on an intergaylactic mission to save her ex-girlfriend (a super gaslighty bounty hunter) from the Straight White Maliens. Packed with drag queens, pop stars, and problematic spaceships, the princess’s LOL quest might just start with saving herself. Rick and Morty meets Sailor Moon—with 100% more self-loving lesbians!
