Selfie for Baba-yaga is a quirky animated short that really captures a unique blend of traditional folklore and modern tech mishaps. The animation style is whimsical, almost reminiscent of a children's storybook, which contrasts nicely with Baba Yaga's more menacing reputation. The pacing has this charming, almost erratic rhythm—Baba's frustration builds as she seeks help from forest creatures, who are, of course, too busy with their own lives. Themes of isolation and the challenge of adapting to new things are present, but it’s the humor in her attempts to make sense of the smartphone that stands out. The practical effects, while limited in animation, really pop and add a tactile feel to the world. It’s a strange little gem that plays well with the absurdity of blending old myths with new technology.
