The film's director and co-writer, along with the voice of trans teen Raúl, on the character's origins and messages within the large stop-motion animated universe.
Despite those changes, Selick was committed to keeping Raúl in the story, even if he existed differently. “I still needed Raúl to be a part of it, and what’s the reason for there to be a boy at an all-girls school? He’s a trans kid,” Selick tells. “It took a while for us to realize, and that’s not what the whole movie is about, but the answer was right there.”
The director says the decision was made to have Raúl be trans “at least four years ago” as he and Peele were conceiving the film. It was a choice heavily inspired by his co-writer’s own “touching” admittance that, as a young Black kid, he wanted to see himself in animated films like Selick’s. Hearing that gave the director the freedom, he says, to go farther with characters like Raúl, creating a “ripple effect” not just with individual characters but the entire narrative.
“Once we agreed that’s what we were going to do, it just fed into our story so much with his friends and his having an interest in Kat, the new outsider — him being intrigued by her and having this sense of faith in her,” Selick says of the impact of how Raúl being trans influenced more than just his arc.
It’s just one shade within a larger, more inclusive community of characters rarely seen in stop-motion. “He’s part of the community that’s a bit of a turning point and that could go one way or another with the political situation in the town,” says Raúl’s voice actor
