Ugly Fairy Tale

About This Movie

Ugly Fairy Tale is quite the curious little film. It embraces this handmade aesthetic, with embroidery giving it a unique texture that you don’t see every day in animation. The story revolves around a couple whose constant bickering drives their house to take drastic action. The pacing feels a bit languid at times, allowing you to soak in the quirky visuals and the absurdity of their situation. Themes of domestic strife and the physical embodiment of their home add an intriguing layer. The performances are somewhat understated—it's more about the atmosphere and the sensations the visuals evoke. It’s distinctive for how it plays with the idea of a ‘home’ and the lengths it might go to escape conflict. Not your typical animated fare, that's for sure.
