The fantasy genre is home to many strong female characters, and the stars of these fantasy tales inspire girls to dream about being something far better than a prissy princess or a scullery maid turned royal.
In this conceptual animated short by Anna-Ester Volozh et al we meet Johanne, a young girl with an armed posse who takes to the skies to fight for honor.
Inspired in part by Joan of Arc, Johanne is a visualization of a fantastic daydream with a wonderfully retro 2D animation style that made my heart soar.
