Myth and legend is one of our oldest forms of storytelling as it was how we made sense of the nonsensical nature of the world around us before we understood enough about it in order to properly study it. These stories provided the framework for a lot of human culture and also serve as a capsule for the beliefs and values of these peoples. It is easier to make sense of the world when nature itself is just as irrational as a human being, after all.
The team of directors behind The Story of Three Sisters understand the purpose of myth but also the human element behind it so perfectly, drawing upon those emotions to inform the character design, animation, and art direction. It’s so powerful and succinct. I almost want a full-length feature done in this style of animation, knowing full well that this story would not translate well to that length. Yes, Three Sisters’ short runtime is wholly appropriate, its myth running like fairy tale or aesop. The emotion is the logic behind it and it is just so
