Greedy Millwife is a rather intriguing piece from 2004 that straddles the line between animation and darker storytelling. The tone is quite curious, blending elements of a fairy tale with thriller aspects that keep you on your toes. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the tension surrounding the miller's family and their morally questionable choices. What makes this one distinctive is its visual style—practical animation techniques combined with a gritty narrative that isn't afraid to explore themes of greed and consequence. The characters are exaggerated yet memorable, especially the millwife, whose motivations are alarming yet relatable in a twisted sort of way. It’s not your typical animated fare, and that’s what caught my attention.
Visually striking animation style.Themes of greed and consequence.Darker tone than typical family animations.
