Princess

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is one of the best animated films I've ever seen. Sometimes funny and often moving, this thrilling vengeance tale pulls no punches and offers an intense and satisfying story. Not for the faint of heart, it's extremely bleak and depressing. I really liked it.

Depressing, nihilistic, trash. At best it doesn't seem to have a point. At worst it has a really dumb point.

the title and the fact that this is a cartoon might disguise a little bit. Princess is NO movie for children. it's the poor & sad story of a young girl who grew up in the porno scene. her mother died and she has to live with her uncle. it's a personal vendetta against the "guilty ones". morgenthaler painted a brutal, hopeless and dark scenario with some drastic moments. Hard shit and really sad.

Don't really know what to say other than this is some pretty grim shit.

I love animation and I love it when I find something like Princess that is more adult themed (though I have nothing against kids themes animated film - they can be just as great). I can't say anything that I disliked about Princess. The animation is awesome, even though it doesn't keep it's high quality all the time, the main two characters and the interactions between them are sweet and the plot featured dark sub-contexts and to be honest I enjoy the ending. This is a film I highly recommend.

Misery porn for sadists, enlivened by some skillful animation

I expected a sort of mindless "watch the perverts die" movie, but what I got was a lot more of an intelligent, somewhat self-aware social commentary. It actually addresses the idea that trading sex for violence is not a solution, and does some interesting things with that idea.

I didn't like some facets of the story (too cliche) but otherwise an amazing feat. The integration of real life video into the animation was exceptionally well done. Now, if someone can make the inverse of this film. So a real movie with what's animated now, and an animation for the real life parts. That would be interesting.

Brrr, der Film hat mich voellig fertig gemacht.

Danish animated film about the brother and 5 year old daughter of Princess, a porn superstar who has been murdered (or possibly overdosed - it's not 100% clear). The pair embark on a determined quest to destroy all the films and magazines featuring images of Princess, which leads to bloody clashes with seedy pornographers. This is pretty dark stuff that touches on issues of exploitation and child abuse. Violent and tragic.

Soreness and badassness in raging harmony.
