Ninjai: The Little Ninja
Hmmm..ok it's stretching a bit, but this online animated flash series of the adventures of Ninjai, the precocious child ninja is just too fabulous. It has demons, amazing feats, helper animals, a mythic journey of self discovery and well...yes...japanese splatter and gore in the sword fights. The collaborative brain child of the Ninja Gang--a group of porfessional stuntmen and women, this series is captivating. My only problem now is having to wait for the new epidsodes to come out...Check it out at Ninjai: The Little Ninja
Which reminds me--I have been working on collecting offerings for
mythic and fairy tale related web graphics and flash animation and
posting my findings on the Endicott Bulletin board at p090.ezboard.com/fendicottstudioformythicartsfrm25.
If anybody has any others they'd like to add to the list I would
be really grateful! (or stop by and have a look...)

suggestions
There was a link to a webcomic of Sleeping Beauty posted on this board a while ago, but I couldn't find it in a quick search of the archives. The site was called Zero Sleep Beauty, and it was an odd inversion of the tale with Sleeping Beauty as a prince held captive by his demented witch mother. There was also a wolf-man sent by the prince's sister to try and save him. I haven't got back to the site for several months, so I'm woefully behind on recent plot developments, but it was interesting.
Also, Duirwaigh Gallery has a little animated movie called "A Knock at the Duir" at www.duirwaighgallery.com It doesn't exactly have a plot--it's more of an inspirational piece--but it's very attractive. It could certainly be called "mythic."
Hope this is helpful.

Re: suggestions
Thanks for these! I will try and track down the Sleeping Beauty
piece...there is a Dutch online adventure game based on Sleeping
Beauty that is really interesting...I wonder if this is what you
mean? I do have it marked on the Endicott discussion board...it's
called "Tell of Tales" at tale-of-tales.com/8/index.html
Oh and thanks for reminding me about the Durwaigh piece--it's gorgeous! I also saw they are working on a new film called "Kindred."

Re: Suggestions
You're more than welcome! I've been introduced to so much beautiful fantasy art through this discussion board, I'm just happy to give a little back!
As for the Sleeping Beauty piece, I'm pretty positive it was a comic, not a game, though it did have a place for fans to post "artings" and "writings." I was under the impression it was American. The speech balloons, etc. were in English, so that at least narrows it down some. I think the person who posted the link earlier (it wasn't me, by the way) mentioned the artist was a single mother who worked full time and went to school full time. I think the artist's name was Becca something. I don't know that this is much help, but it's all I can remember.

Success!
I looked through the archives again and found it! I don't know how
to link to the archives, but Yukihada posted a thread called "Webcomics
and fairytales" on 11/9/03 that includes links to three different
sites. The one to Zero Sleep Beauty is out-of-date. The website
is now at ming.hakaze.com/zerosleep/index.html
and
the artist is Becca Ming. I haven't got on any of the other sites, so I don't know how up-to-date those links are, but even Zero Sleep just has a link to the present-day site. Happy hunting!
