@swope@mstdn.plus gorillaz expert & professional transgender here. correct me if i read your post wrong, but im pretty sure the kid in the beginning is supposed to just straight up Be young noodle pre-puberty, & is only visually reminiscent of mowgli. i wouldnt object to a trans reading of that though lol

@airy - that seems reasonable. I thought maybe falling in the water was a sort of rebirth - like Noodle was Mowgli in a past life. And, I wondered if the dragon was an allusion to something I didn't recognize. The dragon seems oddly specific looking. Oh well, animators can just be original without everything being a reference.
