Moby Boards Cannes-Bound Queer Animated Comedy Jim Queen
Moby and Lindsay Hicks’s Little Walnut are executive producers on Nicolas Athane and Marco Nguyen’s animated feature Jim Queen, which world premieres at Cannes. Produced by Bobbypills, the queer satire follows a gay influencer whose life unravels when a virus turns Paris’s gay men straight, prompting him to seek a rumored cure with a twink in the Marais. Global Constellation handles worldwide sales. A teaser clip drew 1.6 million views in 48 hours, and the project is touted by its backers as smart, funny, and with breakout potential.
