Animal Rental

About This Movie

So, 'Animal Rental' from 2010—it's this intriguing animated piece that dives into a dystopian future where all rainforest critters are gone. You really get a sense of loss and desperation. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, but it works. The Labs behind this 'Zootizens' project feel like a sly jab at corporate greed, and it's fascinating how they tackle the idea of playing God. The pacing is a bit uneven, though, with some moments dragging while others rush by, but that gives it a kind of odd charm, I guess. The animation has a unique texture that feels a bit raw, which adds to the overall eerie vibe. Not your typical animated fare, that's for sure.
