A Pencil Cannonball is a rather obscure piece from North Korea that blends animation with a rather unique take on war themes. The animation style is quite distinct, almost raw, capturing a childlike essence while tackling heavier concepts like geometry in a wartime setting. It's fascinating how the film uses shapes and angles to convey larger messages amid conflicts. The pacing can feel off in spots, almost jarring, but it adds to the overall experience. The voice performances are somewhat simplistic, yet they carry an earnestness that feels genuine. Overall, it’s a curious watch that leaves you pondering the intersections of education and conflict, a thought-provoking piece in an unexpected package.
