The Princesses and the Mysterious Guest

The Princesses and the Mysterious Guest (2023) is a short animated adventure you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Alexandra Shokha. It's All-Magic Day at the princess school — costumes are on, a surprise is being planned, the celebration is about to start. Then the young sorceress Marfusha arrives with a score to settle against Koshchei. One spell later: he's a raven, and the princesses are stuck as the exact animals whose costumes they happened to be wearing.

No magical powers, no easy exits — and a deadline before All-Magic Day runs out. A fast, fun Russian animated short with a surprisingly resourceful villain. Stream The Princesses and the Mysterious Guest (2023) online on iFILM.
