Children of Lir
“Two brothers cursed to be swans by their evil stepmother must find a way to break her spell”
King Lir and his wife have children, his wife dies and Lir remarries. New wife gets jealous of the children and places a curse on them. The curse turns the children into swans and must stay that way for 900 years, each 300 at a different lake.
I chose an existing story as I wanted to focus on my work, it also gives me enough creative freedom to interpret the story how I want. I chose an Irish tale because it fits with Cartoon Saloon’s vibe as a challenge for myslef to adapt accordign to a similar style.
