This guy had the shittiest day of his young life. Deformed legs wich the vet can hopefully fix as it grows, but as it was it couldn't hold itself upright at all and would have died on the ground since it couldn't flee from danger

![[screencap of the "Censorship" section of the film's wikipedia article]
"Reiniger was one of the first filmmakers in the 20th century to attempt a portrayal of the queer experience with a pair of openly gay lovers in this film: the Emperor of China and a male character named Ping Pong. Although this was censored in the version of the film that was distributed to theaters, Ping Pong is presented as the Emperor's favourite or darling (Des Kaisers Liebling) even in the censored version. Reiniger herself was outspoken on her motivation to destigmatize homosexual realities in the world of film. "I knew lots of homosexual men and women from the film and theater world in Berlin, and saw how they suffered from stigmatization. [...] I suspect that when the Emperor kisses Ping Pong, that must have been the first happy kiss between two men in the cinema and I wanted it to happen quite calmly in the middle of Prince A[c]hmed so children — some who would be homosexual and some who would not — could see it as a natural occurrence, and not be shocked [n]or ashamed."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bqklfkumqugekmwgwlr2m2n4/bafkreihsmqo5dboc7bf7oeax4z5lujo7se362ceoc74oy2tsj7mtf7at5m)
