I don’t think Granny O’ Grimm sings the right words here at all at all

I met Granny O’ Grimm recently - it was quite the encounter and I’m sure I’ll be recounting it to you shortly. Amid the complaints, the grumbles, the overwhelming sense of pessimism and gloom (her life motto is “give up your dreams“), there was actually an attractive streak of divilment in this elderly lady that made up for the sheer mortification of having her show me up in the Central Hotel.

Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty

Granny O’Grimm is an Irish-made animated short film, short-listed for an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film in 2010. They have just put the full version online and it is wonderful.

Nicky Phelan directed and Brown Bag Films produced the film. Enjoy!
