Three Misses	comment	3 Misses is a 1998 animated short film (11 minutes) by Paul Driessen.It consists of three short cartoons centered on the theme of damsels in distress. In the first, a cartoon set in the modern day, a man is reading a paper when he sees a woman fall off a building. In the second, set in the The Wild West, a cowboy hears screams and sees that a woman has been tied to the railroad tracks. In the third, set in a fairy tale land, seven dwarves are actually reading Snow White when they hear a wicked witch, bearing a poisoned apple to a princess in Snow White style. In all three cartoons, the protagonists rush to save the endangered women, and they have silly comic misadventures on the way.

Three Misses / int_222dc873	type	Black Comedy
Three Misses / int_222dc873	comment	Black Comedy: The princess in the fairy tale dies off-screen but the other two "misses" die in comical fashion. The man in the modern story rushes outside to catch the woman, only to completely miss her as she slams into the ground, organs popping out of the crater. The cowboy races to the train tracks and heroically diverts the train, saving the woman, only for a train coming from the other direction to squash her. All the camera shows is her blood-spattered hat drifting into frame.

Three Misses / int_3eb0f889	comment	Pun-Based Title: It's 3 Misses because there are three damsels aka "misses" in distress, but also, it's because all three protagonists fail to save their misses.

Three Misses / int_5b351f0d	comment	Intercontinuity Crossover: Characters from each story find their way into the others. The man in the modern story opens a door and finds Red Riding Hood and the wolf (and the dwarf) from the fairy tale story. The cowboy comes to the edge of a cliff and sees the woman from the modern story falling. The same prince, who turns out to be Prince Charming, gallops through all three stories and witnesses the deaths of the damsels in each.

Another is lulled to sleep by a field of poppies, Wizard of Oz-style. Eventually, only a single dwarf makes it to the rendezvous with the witch at the princess's cottage.

Only he's the wrong Prince Charming, the one from Cinderella, and he tries to force the glass slipper onto Snow White's foot. Finally the frustrated dwarf kisses Snow White himself. She revives, sends the prince packing, and pulls the dwarf into her coffin for sex as the cartoon ends.
