if I were you, I would avoid the clam chowder

Does anyone have any ideas for family-friendly queer films, preferably relatively new? I'm working on a family movie day-type event that would be at a movie theater, etc. So, it needs to be something available on 35mm and that would be acceptable to show to young children. So far, I have Breakfast With Scot and Ready? Ok! tagged to look into. Does

That cheerleading movie made me think of But I'm a cheerleader. It was rated R, but I think it deserved it. It's been a while though.

[vintagehandbag]

I think that movie probably deserves a PG-13 -- the only thing that's sort of risque is some very brief masturbation. It's a great film, but probably a little old age-wise.

[slutpants]

Yeah, I wasn't sure how young you meant. Above I meant to say "...I DON'T think it deserved it."

[vintagehandbag]

Yeah, I was hoping for something that you could take itty bitty kids to. Basically, the MPAA's systematic discrimination against gay films via ratings means that there's never a sort of "take your gay family to the movies" day, which is what I'm shooting for.

what about Billy Elliot? I was thinking of Ma Vie En Rose, but you prob. don't want subtitles. And then I thought, what about movies about non-gender-normative identities and transgressive affections, even if they don't explicitly mention the gay? I heard Happy Feet the penguin movie did this, and Ratatouille struck me as one of the most beautiful and eloquent pro-queer movies I've seen... (To Kill A Mockingbird features characters based on Harper Lee and Truman Capote, 0 heterosexual relationships, and standing up for what's right...) BUT then I totally agree with the imperative to represent actually gay families and people at your event, too!

[vintagehandbag]

Yeah, part of it is that I want people to have an opportunity to see (as a family) a movie they might not have seen, so I want to avoid films that were widely distributed.

[vintagehandbag]

And, Ma Vie En Rose is totally something along the lines of what I'd like, but subtitles is a bit much to ask of kiddos.

I remember seeing Big Eden and thinking it was very sweet, and it is only PG 13. It is more of a general romantic comedy than kid oriented, but I remember it being very kid appropriate.

[vintagehandbag]

That's a great suggestion. I'll have to pre-screen all of these, of course, but that seems like a good one. I'm trying to figure out age/interest level stuff, too. This is sort of a learning process.
