Tragic Story with Happy Ending (French:Histoire tragique avec fin heureuse) is a 2005 animated short by Regina Pessoa. To make the 7 minute 43 second film, Pessoa's drawings were transferred to glossy paper, brushed with india ink, scratched with a blade to give the effect of an engraving, then photographed. National Film Board of Canada film composer Normand Roger supplied the score for the film.[1][2]

The film was the second in a trilogy of animated shorts by Pessoa about childhood, between A Noite (1999) and Kali the Little Vampire.[3]

Tragic Story with Happy Ending has received numerous awards, becoming one of Portugal's most acclaimed animated films.[4] They include the Cristal and TPS Cineculte awards for short film at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, as well as a special international jury prize at the Hiroshima International Animation Festival.[5]
