Title

Mary’s Little Lamb

Description

Mary's lamb wants to attend the last day of school with her; music and hijinks ensue. 

During the festivities, Percy, a named animated queer coded character (an incredibly rare instance from this period), performs a dance for his classmates, making it the earliest example of a named queer coded character in the database.
