里克和史蒂夫: 全世界最快乐的同志伴侣 第一季的剧情介绍,由美国Logo彩虹频道制作的多集定格动画片《里克和史蒂夫》以里克和史蒂夫这对同性恋伴侣为主角,讲述了一帮同志朋友的搞笑经历。该系列于08年7月首播,引发不俗反响,尤其获得同志族群认可,被认为是继QAF后“最写实的同志剧”。 在2008年国际电视动画片展评比中,《里克和史蒂夫》从全球24个国家176部电视动画作品中脱颖而出,获得了“年度最佳电视系列片”这一重大奖项。据报道,《里克和史蒂夫》因其大胆的同性恋视角而备受争议,但评审团最终认为:“该剧以恶搞使坏的风格,触及到人们固有的偏狭观念,推动了社会的多向思维。” 《里克和史蒂夫》由虚拟乐高积木叠成,采用停格拍摄(Stop-motion)手法,以一格一动累积出画面,不但让作品显得生气勃勃,人物动态也有相当不同的美感。主人公包括争抢做1的Rick和Steve,个性拉拉Dana和Kirsten,轮椅大叔Chuck与小正太Evan。他们的关系建立在互相挖苦和鄙视之上,但潜藏在深处的是爱和友情。值得一提的是,给男主角Steve配音的演员我们都相当之熟悉——在“同志亦凡人”中饰演Emmet的 Peter Paige!
Welcome to the gayest of gay ghettos, West Lahunga Beach, where Rick and Steve make their fabulously decorated double-income-no-kids home. That is until Rick's lifelong lesbian friend Kirsten asks him to be the father of her child. There's just one catch, Kirsten's wife Dana and Rick's husband Steve are mortal enemies. The insults fly, nothing goes unspoken, and the ugly, bitter truth about domestic bliss never looked so cute. Starring the voices of Alan Cumming, Peter Paige, Wilson Cruz, and Margaret Cho, with music from the creators of Avenue Q. Viewer discretion advised.
