"Happy and Gay" is a revisionist history document reflecting the classic 1930's-styled cartoon musical misadventure. It's responding to this early animation era's acts of censorship, prejudice and stereotype through the placement of a simply positive representation of gay and lesbian characters into the narrative. Stereotypes are embedded as historical markers, contextualizing the conversion. This resulting representation means that this is document that could not have existed at the time it references.—Lorelei Pepi
Two couples go out for a night on the town in this revisionist history, 1930s black-and-white cartoon musical misadventure. The film embeds historical issues of stereotype, representation, censorship and homophobia, and on the way becomes a document that should have existed, but could not, at the time it references.—Anonymous
