Bakiro

About This Movie

So, Bakiro, released in 2017, takes us into this whimsical world of animation. There's this shy peccary, right? Works as a janitor in a classical music hall, which is a neat setting. The tone is oddly charming, blending melancholy with that hopeful dream of becoming an opera singer. But here's the kicker—Bakiro has a terrible voice, which adds a layer of humor and absurdity. The pacing is kind of gentle and reflective, allowing us to dive into his struggles. The visuals are unique, with a hand-drawn feel that feels almost nostalgic. The themes of self-discovery and inner strength resonate well, even if the production seems to fly under the radar. It’s just an interesting exploration of identity through a quirky lens.
