Cursed

Cursed is about a villainess who enjoys bringing chaos and disaster. But when something crosses her way of evil-doing, things turn out for the unexpected.

Be forewarned: this animation school short, in its quest to lightly subvert the genre, plays sometimes uncomfortably close to the regressive gender tropes we all know and loathe. It ain’t perfect, but it pulled out an ending that made me chuckle, so thought I’d share. And hey, even if it’s not your cup of tea, there’s some nice 2D animation here. Curious to see future stuff from these two.
