Princess is a 2006 animated movie by Danish director Anders Morgenthaler, otherwise perhaps best known for his work on the newspaper comic ''Wulfmorgenthaler'' that features Dolph the Fascist Hippo. The story centers around 32-year old missionary August. After the death of his sister Christina, a porn star known as Princess, he takes in her five year old daughter Mia trying to overcome his feelings of guilt that he was unable to save her mother. Upon finding out that his niece has suffered abuse at the hands of her mothers employers and that said employers continue to exploit his dead sister's image he goes on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] against the porn industry. In particular he wants to get even with Charlie, the person he holds responsible for getting his sister involved with porn in the first place. Morgenthaler intended this movie as a critique of the objectification of women in the porn industry. Princess (much in the same way as [[Waltz ~~With~~ Bashir]]) combines animation with live action for dramatic effect.

Line 15:

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The card the old hooker gives to Mia in case she should ever need help {{spoiler|turns out to contain the adress of Charlie's mansion}}

* [[Downer Ending]]

* [[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Princesses]]: Rather brutally averted. Princess is Christina's porn star persona and the only way in which most people other than August and Mia remember her.

* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: Rather brutally averted. Princess is Christina's porn star persona and the only way in which most people other than August and Mia remember her.

* [[Fan Disservice]] There are various scenes of sex and nudity but they are never appealing. The one where August violently interrupts an aging prostitute and her client stands out.

* [[Groin Attack]]: After finding out that Paradise Lust's CEO has been {{spoiler|molesting Mia}}, he has Mia hit him in the aforementioned spot with a crowbar.
