Part fairy-tale, part science fiction, this wonderful short directed by the great Jiří Trnka is a fascinating work of art, which predates many of the elements present in the works of Jan Svankmajer and the Brothers Quay, being something eerie, but incredibly captivating at the same time.
"The Cybernetic Grandma" displays a high level of imagination in every single scene, showing many stylish and very appealing designs, having also a magnificent atmosphere which is able to transmit a sense of creepiness in every moment from it, even nothing really "terrifying" is happening on screen. In this sense, I think that this animation makes a much better work than many horror films (Especially most of the modern ones) This is a great animated short that deserves more recognition. I highly recommend "The Cybernetic grandma" to any viewer.
9.5/10
