My Shadow is Pink

In my opinion the message of this animated short is good, but the way everything was done is terrible. And I'm showing an idea of how to make a cartoon that would convey that message in another way.
* The first episode starts with a group of girls who are learning ballet. Their teacher says that they are going to have a new student joining the class, and that same student has shown to have ballet talent just like they do. And the surprise is that the student was a boy, and his name was Cody. The girls are surprised and ask if she's sure he has a talent for ballet, and the teacher says and asks Cody to show them what he's already learned. But Cody was embarrassed seeing all of them looking at him, the teacher talks to Cody and manages to give him the courage to dance in front of them. Cody closes his eyes and starts dancing to the music, after that he still sees everyone looking at him, he worries about it, but then all the girls applaud him and agree that he has talent for ballet. After class they leave the place that teaches ballet, and some kids in the neighborhood recognize Cody in a skirt and start making fun of him for doing ballet, because they think it's not manly. Cody is embarrassed and runs from the place, this is heard by four girls who study ballet with him: Gwen (a brunette girl), Leshawna (a black girl), Lindsay (a blonde girl) and Bridgette (a red-haired girl); they don't agree with the teasing and don't think that just because Cody likes ballet makes him less "masculine" and they agree that it's okay. They go after Cody and find him crying on a park bench. And they want to know if he's okay, and he's sad and he tries to hide that he's crying thinking it makes him even less masculine, but they correct that they don't think it makes him less masculine. And they say they think he's a much braver man than those boys, he finds it strange, and they point out that he had a lot of courage to join ballet classes and dance in front of them, even though he was ashamed of it. When he comments that this is not the opinion of those boys, Gwen sits next to him and convinces him not to care what they say and asks why he wants to take ballet lessons. Cody says he likes to dance ballet, and then Leshawna asks what's wrong with him taking ballet if he likes it, and then asks what the neighborhood kids keep talking about, and they tell him to ignore it. And he said there was one time when one of them said he thought if a boy did ballet he wouldn't be able to date. They ask if he is already interested in dating, and he said no, but that one day he will be interested. And Gwen said it's a comfort to you, there's a girl who would be interested in dating him, even though he has that feminine interest. And when he asks who this girl is, she takes his hand and says "Me". He blushes and leans over to the side, but then Leshawna sits next to him and says "And me", Bridgette steps in front of him and says "And me"; and then Lindsay goes behind him and puts the mirror in front of his face, in a position where he can see her reflection, and then she says "And me" and winks at him. And the blushing Cody says "Okay girls, you've got me".
*This episode starts with Cody going to ballet class again. But this time not bothering when someone made fun of him, because his friends accepted him that way. But the boys didn't accept this and decided to get revenge one of them was close enough to hear about a place where they are going to do a presentation of Swan Lake. One of them says he had an idea, and they all manage to sneak into the place where the ballet is going to be performed. And they prepare a prank, they place two buckets of oil on top of two wooden boards that are above the place where the dance will take place. When the performance starts they will pull two ropes (one tied to each bucket), and the buckets will tip over and spill the oil on the dancers. But one of them, named Noah, wonders if they should really ruin Cody's presentation, and the others angrily respond that they should because Cody won't be able to ignore it. On the day of the performance, they were hiding waiting for the right time, but then Noah walked away from them and heard Cody mentioning it to Leshawna, she asked if his dad took it easy, but he admitted that he didn't. But then Cody said that his father ended up accepting it because he understood that this is what he wants to do ballet dancing, and he comments that he wanted the boys to understand that he is different like that, from what they and his father accepted. And Noah ends up regretting pulling this prank on Cody, and then he pulls Cody out of the room and tells him what the neighborhood kids are planning to do to ruin the performance. And Cody goes back inside and tells the girls what will happen, they take a ladder, but are interrupted by the teacher who forbids them to take a chance on a big ladder like this. They tell the teacher what will happen and then she gives them another idea. When the performance starts they pull the ropes, but the children are not hit by the oil, and then it is discovered that a plastic sheet has been stretched in the space between the stage and these boards that are above the stage. The boys are annoyed by this, but then the security guards go up to get them. And after the ballet performance is over, the boys are shown being held by security as the boys' mothers come to ground them for breaking into the place and trying to ruin the ballet performance.
