The Wedding Veil of the Proud Princess(2024)

movie - first aired/released 2024-08-03 - audience 6.0

Beset by countless royal suitors, a princess declares that she will only marry the king who rules over all the others. Adapting with exquisite style a very dark fairy tale from the works of Canadian author L.M. Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables!), U.K. animator Anna-Ester Volozh adds a further layer of feminist subversion to a story that’s already a challenge to patriarchal conventions.
