Dear editorial board,
While I was reading the latest addition of The Oracle, I was immediately drawn to a review of The Lego movie. I remember when I saw that movie for the first time in theaters with my grandparents, and I loved it. I loved all of the characters, and the colorful, creative worlds. When I was little, I really didn’t understand the moral of the story (I was four). When I rewatched it a year ago, I was reminded of how cis-heteronormativity is constantly reinforced and anything different than that norm is wrong and needs to be “corrected.” Thank you to Maxon Peters and the editorial board for reviewing this movie and how it connects to current issues in our world.
Sincerely,
Jillian Fellman
