The Pitt Star Is an Introverted Space Princess in New Clip from Animation with Perfect RT Score
SYNOPSIS
The adult animated sci-fi comedy Lesbian Space Princess is shaping up to be a future cult classic ahead of its U.S. theatrical release on October 31. Starring The Pitt’s Shabana Azeez as the introspective space princess Saira, the film follows her hilarious and heartfelt quest to rescue her ex-girlfriend Kiki, a bounty hunter kidnapped by the “Straight White Maliens.” The movie’s mix of absurd humor, cosmic adventure, and raw emotional honesty turns a post-breakup story into a riotously queer journey of self-discovery and self-love.
The film is co-written and co-directed by Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese, who describe it as the product of “one lesbian’s lifelong obsession with animation, another lesbian’s burning desire to make people laugh, and their combined longing for stories that are fresh, female-driven, and gay AF.” Featuring a dynamic voice cast including Bernie Van Tiel, Gemma Chua-Tran, Richard Roxburgh, Kween Kong, and comedy troupe Aunty Donna, the film has been praised for its unapologetic humor, bold visual style, and emotional resonance.
After premiering at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Teddy Award for best LGBTQ+ feature, Lesbian Space Princess has already earned a perfect 100% rating across early reviews. Critics from The Guardian, Variety, and Loud and Clear Reviews call it a “hilarious and heartfelt journey of self-discovery,” “a fizzy, welcoming utopia,” and “a wildly absurd, unapologetically queer sci-fi adventure.” With its unique tone and message of queer joy, Lesbian Space Princess is poised to become one of animation’s most talked-about and beloved new comedies.
