Lily Homunculus

The characters of Justine, Blanche, and Lily return in what was meant to be a modest follow-up to Wild Flowers Animal Gods, but wound up taking just as long (two years) to create. In this new story our sisters share a basement apartment at the end of a busy city street, directly behind a newly erected work of public statuary. Justine is the only one of the three to recognise the latent threat in their bronze neighbour, and so while Blanche works on her scales and Lily empties a box of breakfast cereal, Justine races with the setting sun to create a charm to secure their door from supernatural invasion.

The animation of Lily Homunculus is much smoother than in Wild Flowers Animal Gods, and the story simple enough to require no title cards. It did originally have them—they were meant to appear in the matted-off sections of screen that occur from time to time—but the author quickly realised that the text added little of value, and by removing it the movie would be open to a wider audience. Granted, in the end, it was barely shown to any audience at all! It has spent most of its life vaulted away, but is bound to appear again one day, here most likely, all 15 terrifying minutes of it! (Full disclosure: not one of its minutes is terrifying.)
