An introduction of human zoology

About This Movie

So, 'An Introduction of Human Zoology' is quite the oddball, isn’t it? This short animated piece by Tomoyasu Murata offers a bizarre yet fascinating exploration of human behavior through a zoological lens. The animation style has this quirky charm, blending simplicity with some surprisingly detailed expressions—definitely not your typical animation. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to really soak in the themes of nature versus nurture. It feels experimental, maybe a tad unsettling at times, but that's part of its unique appeal. It stands out not just for its odd subject matter but also for how it makes you think about humanity in this very raw, stripped-back way.

This film has been elusive in collector circles, with limited releases and not much available in terms of physical media. Its scarcity adds a layer of intrigue and desirability for those who appreciate offbeat animations. While not widely discussed, it certainly has piqued the interest of niche collectors who enjoy unique thematic explorations and experimental animation styles.
