The Museum of Natural History shocked even liberal Upper West Side parents last week by showcasing an animated film featuring a drag-performing fox and a trans kid with an identity crisis – alongside an exhibit “about sea animals.”
The eight-minute stop-motion animation short titled “Dragfox” – featuring a “charismatic” fox in drag voiced by Sir Ian McKellen — played last weekend on a loop inside the august Milstein Hall in the shadow of the famed 94-foot long blue whale.
In one scene 11-year-old Sam twirls around with his sister’s pink dress, eventually wearing it. The flamboyant fox, “Ginger Snap,” snatches it and breaks into a drag musical number as the duo embark on a “magical journey” in the attic.
