Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Princess won three awards at European film festivals and was nominated for the Robert Award (Danish equivalent to the Oscar) for best movie.

Downer Ending: Mia is killed in the explosion that destroys Charlie's mansion and August presumably succumbs to his wounds not long after. Charlie himself wasn't in the mansion and is still alive in the end.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Berserk Button: For August finding out that his sister's grave has been turned into a shrine for her porn persona Princess complete with dildo-shaped pillars. Even more so, reading Mia's medical file and finding out the extent to which she has been abused.
