Granny O'Grimm's Sleeping Beauty film is a dark and twisted version of the fairytale, Sleeping Beauty. Directed by Nicky Phelan, produced by Darragh O'Connell and written/voiced by Kathleen O'Rourke, the Irish animated film was nominated for the Best Animated Short Film at the 82nd Academy Awards.
The interesting part of this film is the values it relates to life and also in the modern 21st century. She mentioned that beauty does not take you very far in life, which is true (brains are important!). The definition of beauty was also touched in the film. Slim figures, long legs and big boobs are the 'ideal' model portrayed to women in this era. I was quite entertained by Granny O'Grimm's antics and her exaggerated expressions.
Granny O'Grimm tells the story as if that she's the Elderly Fairy itself. It portrays her as a person who is revengeful and does not easily forgive and forget. In this film, it is as if Granny O'Grimm characteristics and personality is represented by the general perception of the senior citizens where they are old, cranky and slightly off in the head.
This film content is clearly not suitable for children but watch this if you’re looking for a good laugh!
