Synopsis:

A Super Progressive Movie (2026) is a satirical animated film released on 26 January 2026 to coincide with Australia Day. It is an Australian political satire animated film directed by Sebastian Peart, written by Mark Nicholson & Sebastian Peart, and produced by James Ashby through Stepmates Studios. It is a feature-length version of the series “Pauline Hanson's Please Explain.” The story is set in a progressive dystopia called Naarm — a bubble-domed city held together by the rainbow “The Virtue Signal” and ruled by King Albo. In this city, identity is more important than achievement.

The main character is Pete, a “cisgender straight white male” who is sentenced to death by a “Feelings-Based Court” not because he is dangerous, but because his existence is considered wrong. He is paraded, punished, and nearly executed simply because he is a “convenient” target. Another plot describes the film as following four progressive Australians in a world where Pauline Hanson is prime minister, who set out to reclaim a powerful weapon called “the Victimhood.” The film opens with the line: “This is a true story, if you don’t believe it, you are racist.” Many critics say the film loses its satirical discipline. The jokes are repeated until it feels like a “long argument with cartoons” rather than comedy. The tone becomes narrow and too preachy.

This movie voice cast: Mark Nicholson, Sebastian Peart and Pauline Hanson.

In my opinion:

Wow, I was truly stunned by this film. I’m absolutely sure this film will spark a lot of controversy, although there will definitely be supporters too. This film reflects the social world today, where there are issues of gender equality, feminism, LGBTI+, and so on. I would say this is a brave film. Its satirical jokes are very entertaining. Watching this film gave me mixed feelings. I found it entertaining because it’s funny, but on the other hand I felt uneasy because this is the reality happening in the modern world today. I’m not a supporter of them, but I don’t reject their existence either — those are two different statements. This film reminded me of The Simpsons Movie, because it uses a dome as a symbol of isolation.

But I think this film leans more toward promoting Australia as a safe country for those community. So this film wants to say that Australia is a safe, free, and great country for them. That’s not wrong, because Australia is indeed a safe and welcoming place for LGBTI+ people as they are protected by law. The population growth of this community is also very significant. According to the latest data, around 4.5% of Australia’s population aged 16 and over is LGBTI+. This proportion is higher among young people, with 59.4% of the LGBTI+ population being between the ages of 16–34. So I think maturity is needed to respond to this film, because the pros and cons surrounding this phenomenon will likely never end.

For me this one is 7/10.
