19-year-old Pauline accidentally becomes pregnant from a one-night stand with Lukas, who, as it turns out, is the son of the devil. The pregnancy gives Pauline supernatural powers and an epic battle between good and evil ensues.
We were honored to be invited by bildundtonfabrik to design and animate a 2 minute long 2D sequence for the Disney+ series Pauline. The challenge was to create a style inspired by early Mickey Mouse shorts, refining a rough storyboard, and bringing it to life through animation — all within an intense 7-week timeline. To meet the deadline, we assembled an incredible team of freelancers, working together to craft a dynamic and visually striking sequence.
