It’s loud. It’s proud. And it’s flying in just in time to electrify Pride Month. Maxxie LaWow: Drag Super-Shero is a wild new animated comedy that’s here to save the day—and she’s doing it in heels. This digitally released LGBTQ+ film is bringing rhinestones, high-flying stunts, fierce fashion, and a glittery dose of queer joy to homes across the U.S. and Canada. Directed and produced by Anthony Hand, this feature-length animated spectacle is out now on major digital platforms, and honey, it’s got everything.

The world of animation is getting a long-overdue makeover with a splash of camp and color. While the medium has toyed with queerness in subtle and coded ways for decades, Maxxie LaWow: Drag Super-Shero yanks off the curtain—and the wig cap—with a bold, unapologetic celebration of drag artistry and queer storytelling. It’s part cartoon, part musical, and fully fabulous. With an original plot that fuses superhero fantasy, drag culture, and heartfelt messaging, the film delivers an experience that’s as meaningful as it is entertaining.

If you’ve been craving a story that celebrates queerness with sparkle, sass, and sincerity, this is your moment. Whether you’re bingeing Pride Month content or just looking for something that doesn’t play it safe, Maxxie brings it full force. Packed with a stacked voice cast, a sassy villain, and lip sync showdowns that would gag even the fiercest queens, Maxxie LaWow: Drag Super-Shero is ready to strut into your watchlist—and your heart.

A Pink Wig, A Secret Identity, and One Fierce Mission

At the center of the story is Simon, a shy, sweet barista just trying to survive the daily grind. But when he discovers a magical pink wig, everything changes—literally. The wig transforms him into Maxxie LaWow, a larger-than-life drag super-shero with rhinestone power and a passion for justice. Think Sailor Moon meets RuPaul’s Drag Race, with just the right amount of Saturday morning cartoon nostalgia and late-night queer humor.

Maxxie doesn’t just show up to twirl—she’s got a mission. When the evil and ultra-glam villainess Dyna Bolical starts abducting drag queens to harvest their youth-preserving tears (yes, really), Maxxie jumps into action. Alongside her fiercely loyal bestie Jae, she sets out on a daring rescue mission that spans sequins, sass, and serious stakes. And let’s not forget the high-stakes lip sync battle that ties it all together with glitter, grace, and gallons of charisma.

This isn’t your average superhero storyline. The queer lens is front and center, offering a playful yet profound twist on identity, self-expression, and chosen family. Whether you’re living for the camp or connecting with Simon’s journey of self-acceptance, there’s depth beneath all the dazzle.

The Queens Behind the Voices

One of the most gag-worthy parts of Maxxie LaWow: Drag Super-Shero? The voice cast. It’s giving talent, it’s giving range, and yes, it’s giving drag royalty. The film features performances from Grant Hodges, Erika Ishii, Terren Wooten Clarke, Laraine Newman, Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman, Michael-Leon Wooley, and Michelle C. Bonilla. But the cherry on top? Three of the fiercest queens to ever strut the runway lend their voices to this cartoon fantasy: Jinkx Monsoon, BenDeLaCreme, and Monét X Change.

Jinkx, known for her powerhouse vocals and theatrical finesse, brings signature flair. DeLa dishes out her signature wit with razor-sharp timing. And Monét? Her sass could power a small city. Their presence not only elevates the film’s authenticity—it makes the entire experience feel like one big Pride party where everyone’s invited.

In a world where drag queens continue to be vilified and legislated against, seeing these performers shine in an animated feature is a powerful reminder of how storytelling can uplift and empower.

Animated With Heart and Humor

Director and producer Anthony Hand doesn’t just throw glitter on a script and call it queer. He’s crafted a story with soul, humor, and plenty of action. While the animation style nods to familiar superhero cartoons, it’s the spirit of drag and LGBTQ culture that makes this film so unique. Hand’s love for the genre—and the community—shines through every frame, giving viewers a narrative that’s both heartfelt and hilarious.

The tone strikes a perfect balance. It’s goofy in the best way but never dumbed down. It’s got jokes that land, scenes that sparkle, and a few tearjerker moments that remind you why representation matters. Whether you’re cackling over a villain monologue or swooning at Maxxie’s transformation sequence, you’re hooked from wig to heel.

And let’s be real: a queer cartoon about magical wigs, drag queens, and saving the world? That’s a hard yes.
