Grimm’s Tales 2: Death of the Hen

About This Movie

So, 'Grimm’s Tales 2: Death of the Hen' is this intriguing animated short that really stands out in the realm of fantasy animation. It’s a bit of a quirky piece with a unique storytelling approach, drawing from the undercurrents of classic fairy tales. The animation style has a handmade feel to it, almost reminiscent of folk art, which does a nice job of complementing its darker themes. The pacing is interesting—slow and deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere. There's something almost haunting about the visuals and the way the narrative unfolds, making it memorable. Brian Dewan’s work here, though lesser-known, carries a distinct charm that collectors definitely appreciate.

This short film is part of Wholphin Issue Number 1, which adds to its uniqueness as a collectible. The format history is limited, making it somewhat scarce, and collectors often seek it out for its distinct animation style and thematic depth. While it may not be widely known, its inclusion in a curated collection like Wholphin speaks to its artistic merit and niche appeal.
