Gorgeous Animation! Funny story. I had the pleasure of watching Maxxie LaWow: Drag Super-shero on the big screen at the OutShine Film Festival in Miami Beach. The animation is GORGEOUS!!!! It's incredibly rare to see an animated feature made 100% independently as Maxxie was. And...it was made entirely in the US. There was constant laughter throughout the film and it was fun watching all the toes tapping and heads nodding to the music. The story is truly fun, silly and uplifting. It's a story for all ages. From kids to us older folks. There's something for everyone to enjoy. This is a true gem of a film that can be enjoyed on so many levels. Whether it's the coming of age story, or the meanest of the mean villains, or the super-shero who comes to save the day. Enjoy!

An animated drag queen superhero? Sounds like something cooked up in a focus group. But this movie's got style for days. The animation's like a mash-up of all those Saturday morning cartoons we used to veg out to, but cranked up to 11. It's trippy in all the right ways. The story is of an insecure barista who transforms into this badass drag queen superhero. The villain is called Dyna Bolical - I mean, come on, that's just clever. The voice acting's solid. Pretty sure I recognized some legit drag queens in there. They nailed the whole campy vibe without making it too cheesy. It's the kind of flick you can watch with your buddies or your family to have a some fun. There's a message about being yourself and all that, but it doesn't beat you over the head with it. It's got heart without being sappy. The original songs are fun and add to the drag show vibe without being a drag on the action (couldn't resist). Maxxie LaWow: Drag Super-shero is worth your time. Grab a beer, order a pizza, and give it a shot. You might be surprised.

We had an absolute blast watching Maxxie LaWow: Drag Super-Shero! The music was perfectly matched to every moment, the writing was sharp and hilarious—we laughed out loud several times—and the entire film was a vibrant, joyful ride through Maxxie’s fabulous origin story. Every character brought something unique and unforgettable to the screen. It’s a must-watch for any drag fan or queer cinema lover. We’re already hoping for a sequel and can’t wait to explore more from the Maxxie LaWow universe. We’re also thrilled to interview creator Anthony Hand on the GayPHX Podcast very soon!
