GONZO: A Queer Analysis: Why GONZORELLA makes sense (Video Essay) | aidan elizabeth

On July 23rd, 2021, Disney Junior aired the 43rd episode of the new Muppet Babies series titled “Gonzorella." The episode was met with immediate criticism for "2021 pandering" and "ruining a beloved character." But are any of those things true? In this video I'll be explaining WHY Gonzo being Gonzorella fits his characters so well, supporting my argument with the history of his character and an in depth analysis of the queer themes within his story.
