God is a Pelican is an intriguing animated film that boldly dives into themes of identity and belonging. The story revolves around Madi and Josie, two queer girls navigating the complexities of middle school life in a stifling suburban environment. What stands out here is the unique way the animation captures their vibrant inner worlds contrasted with the monochrome outside. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of introspection to breathe, while the humor is edgy yet tender. The performances, especially in voice acting, bring an authenticity that’s rare. It’s this blend of whimsy and raw emotion that makes the film distinguishable. The practical effects are minimal but effective, creating a dreamlike quality that serves the narrative well.
