This morning I lost my homework and the dog ate my gender. Children, can you say trans-gender? Animated creatures whisk us into worlds of magic as Sunny explores boy tits, coming out to family, learning to fly and getting comfortable with contradictions and not knowing. As funny as it is moving, Other-wise is a testament to the courage it takes to be true to oneself.
Warning: you will only understand this show if you are human & born on planet earth. If you've ever tried to fit into other people's expectations or been worried someone wouldn't understand or be proud of you, then this story is also about you.
