I bet I'm one of the few to ever watch this hilariously mean-spirited short animation who actually felt slightly sorry for Granny 'O Grimm, because to me you've gotta think that she was only acting that way because she couldn't get something that she wanted, and she was missing out. Still, it was very mean and downright cruel of her to sound-off on her innocent little granddaughter and vent her frustrations via her own 'special' versions of classic fairy tales in a ritual that was clearly so scary and traumatic to the poor thing that it could even be considered by the more conscientious to be borderline abuse! This was such a funny gem, I loved when she had her fleeting moments of lucidity mid-rant and almost comes to her senses and realises that she just might possibly be behaving a wee bit irrationally..but then she flies right back off the handle once again! The voicing by the actress was excellent. She was just insane! I liked the way her hair looked a bit like the Bride of Frankenstein's. At the end when she's about to leave the room she just can't resist giving the child one last scare! I thought that both the animation styles were very well done, and I just enjoyed how much wit was put into it. It was humorous but I also found something poignant in it, because of how sometimes old people can sadly grow very bitter and angry out of loneliness and all the things they can't do anymore. My own granma got a bit like that now and then, a little childish and petty, but she was a good person, never hurt anyone in her life. We should try to make time for the elderly and be patient with them, because they're only what we're all gonna be like someday down the road, if we're 'lucky' enough to live that long.. So try to appreciate your granny and her stubborn ways, 'cause you'll miss them when she's gone. It's true, oldsters aren't just being colourful when they say that! Anyway to me it's a lovely little winner of a short, and I like it a lot, thank you. To Mabel.
