I like the art style of the storyboard. The sound is meaningless, I’m sure it would be replaced by dialogue and regular background music and sound. And of course it needs the finished art. I can see it as a representation of a kid who is different and doesn’t fit in, trying to be helpful to someone in the restroom and ending up scaring the person, then collapsing and calling Dad. The problem is if course that this is a boy in the girls’ restroom, not just an awkward kid.
This is just a storyboard of one segment of an episode. What was cut was an entire episode focused on this character. The character is still part of the show, but is not featured. I gather you could watch the whole series and not notice that this character is male, except for this one episode, because he’s just a background character.
In Australia, there’s a popular soapie, Neighbours. Neighbours was pestered by trans actor, Georgie Stone into having a trans character on the show. Stone also consulted heavily on storylines. Among the first storylines were Stone getting the schoolgirls to demand he have access to the girls bathroom, and Stone nervously coming out to a prospective love interest who takes it all in his stride and swears Stone is “still the prettiest girl here”.
There’s so much of this cultural messaging telling girls to budge up, shift over, be nice, make room, make sure he’s comfortable, even if it’s at your expense.
I have no idea what I just saw. Maybe my old brain is ill-suited for this “Pixar” shit.
Yeah mine hates it too. The last bit was completely meaningless.

Oh, duh, I didn’t realize it was a storyboard. Thanks for clarifying.

That sounds extremely annoying.
