Project
Miss Miscious
Get ready to welcome a new Black fairytale speaking to the current Black experience. This BIPOC-driven animated short film follows the story of Miss Miscious, a magical fairy whose wit is put to the test when an unlikely adversary comes along. Our project is determined to highlight Black representation in animation. What better way to do that than through the clever and cool Miss Miscious? She has a style that’s so full of elegance and swagger, she deserves her own theme song.
