Apple Pie

About This Movie

So, Apple Pie is this curious little animation from '82 that captures the essence of a foal's journey into the bustling chaos of city life. The way it juxtaposes the innocence of rural existence with the gritty reality of urban surroundings creates a really interesting tone. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, reflecting the foal's own confusion, but it adds to that unique charm. The practical effects used here are fascinating—there’s something about the hand-drawn style that gives it a warmth you don't find in most modern animations. And then you've got this underlying theme of finding one’s place in the world, which isn't exactly groundbreaking, but the execution makes it engaging. It’s definitely one of those films that stays with you, even if it’s a bit rough around the edges.
