Seventy years ago this week, on March 4, 1950, Disney released across a reprsed Uned Stat the tale of a young gal gettg turned out by her gay bti so she uld slay at a ball, settg a new standard of queer for the morn fairy 't act surprised when I say the garment-makg mice were, 1937's Snow Whe and the Seven Dwarv had a polyamoro seven-way marriage, but the entire tale of Crella is gay non.

FEATURED QUIZZ & STORI

That's lerally every weekend really and tly, what's gayer than a makeover except a makeover performed by a member of your magil chosen fay? However, later adaptatns of Crella, drawg heavily om the 1950 Disney film, found newer and gayer ways to pict this maternal stance, 1998's Ever After gave none other than the woman who brought Morticia Addams to glamoroly ghoulish life, Anjeli Hton, servg wherg si-ey for the, 2015's live-actn remake went one step further and had Cate Blanchett, no stranger to mpg up drag, dng for and wng Season 7 of RuPl's Drag and Blanchett are jt two of the many queer and queer-adjacent ins that have circled around Crella over the past seven s—startg 1957 wh Julie Andrews the Rodgers and Hammerste ma-for-televisn origal broadst was such a succs was adapted for the stage and revived aga on air 1965, and glor Technilor, wh Lley Ann the ultimate Crella adaptatn me 1997, when the gay gods shone down upon and gifted the world wh Whney Hoton as the fairy godmother to Brandy's Crella an spired, groundbreakg b of stg that clud Bernatte Peters as the evil stepmother and Whoopi Goldberg as the Whney and Brandy's versn of "Impossible" is, for my currency, the gold standard, the behd-the-scen rerdg of that signature tune is more entertag than anythg Disney's e out wh the past —particularly when a visibly exasperated Whney asks the younger sger, referrg to her vol range, why she's "down there" only for the mera to immediately whip away (at about 3:45):God, I miss that woman. So while this latt adaptatn of Crella might leave you pg for the credibly high, credibly gay bar set before , leadg you to ask——at least a new generatn of baby queers will have this tale of fairi to spire them for s to e.
