About This Movie

1200° (Twelve Hundred Degrees) is a curious exploration of identity through animation. The story kicks off with this little clay head, really a charming little character, who discovers that the body parts it’s surrounded with are just not right. It’s kind of whimsical but also evokes a sense of longing. The pacing is gentle, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere. The practical effects and the clay animation give it a tactile quality that feels organic and real. The friendships formed throughout the journey lend a warm, almost nostalgic vibe, reminding me of classic animation where the heart of the story often lies in self-discovery. It’s not your typical narrative but has this unique charm that makes you ponder about what it means to belong.
