She's dead, Jim.

I find their riffing on the genderscrew vaguely uncomfortable, myself, but given how conservative Mike Nelson is in real life, I'm not really surprised. And the '50s convention of representing male fae with female actors is a little risible in retrospect.

That's the part I always thought they were making fun of.

Yes, this. It's like watching the Peter Pan stuff where Peter gets cast as a grown-ass woman. It's just...weird, and vaguely wrong.

Yeah, I can see it both ways myself. I'll freely admit to occasionally being made uncomfortable by the riffs that clearly play on Mike's conservativism, but I do think this is less riffing on the androgyny and more riffing on "Mr. B Natural" clearly being an actress, along with the general weirdness of the short. (Let's face it, even if Mr. B Natural had been played by a non-androgynous man, or played by the same actress and been Miss B Natural, the character still would have been the same creepy elf-thing.)

The same creepy elf-thing hawking brass band instruments. The sudden commercialism halfway through the piece is the most riffworthy thing for me, and they barely touch on it. Seriously, who thought a Peter Pan expy was an appropriate commercial spokesman for a marching band manufacturer?
