Maxxie LaWow: Drag Super-Shero, the world’s first animated feature film centred on a drag queen superhero, will start streaming on Tuesday, June 17. The animated drag musical fantasy features the voices of some of your favourite drag queens, including Jinkx Monsoon, BenDeLaCrème, Heide N Closet, Monét X Change and Rosé.
Created and directed by Anthony Hand, Maxxie LaWow: Drag Super-Shero follows Simon, a shy barista who discovers a magical wig that transforms him into the fierce and fabulous Maxxie LaWow. As Maxxie, Simon must embrace his power, protect his community, and take on the villainous Dyna Bolical, a drag queen scientist determined to reclaim her family’s fortune at any cost. Her devious plan involves an unusual beauty secret (drag queen tears!) that forces Maxxie to rise to the challenge and save the day. Beneath the wigs and shade, the film delivers a heartfelt message about self-acceptance and the power of chosen family.
“In a time when LGBTQ+ voices are being challenged, we need stories that celebrate our resilience, our joy, and our magic,” says Hand. “Simon’s journey is about learning to believe in yourself.”
“His transformation into Maxxie represents that moment we all experience—when we stop waiting for permission and start embracing the powerful person we truly are, ” he adds.
In addition to some of the most celebrated drag personalities from RuPaul’s Drag Race voicing many of the film’s colourful characters, newcomer Grant Hodges voices Simon and Maxxie La Wow, and Broadway and television actor Terren Wooten Clarke lends his voice to the film’s formidable villain, Dyna Bolical.
