“Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty” is an acclaimed, hilarious animated short directed by Nicky Phelan, which is a 2010 Oscar Nominee for Best Animated Short Film. “Granny O’Grimm” turns the age-old traditions of bedtime stories and fairy tales topsy-turvey. Cleverly crafted as a mixture between a conventional fairy tale and a horror story, this animated short is a wickedly wonky re-telling of a tale that makes us laugh at the same time that its sense of bitterness makes us reconsider the cost of marginalizing our elderly in a world that’s obsessed with youth and beauty. It’s both amusing and terribly sad that Granny’s best attempts to be a gentle loving grandmother telling a bedtime story go so very far astray as she gets caught up in her own angry bitterness.

This piece includes a number of colorful illustrations and the award-winning animated short film, “Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty.”
