Belly and Soul

About This Movie

Belly and Soul is an intriguing piece of animation from '88 that’s got this unique vibe, you know? It’s set in a posh gathering where the characters are more interested in the food than the speeches, which is a clever commentary on social interactions. The pacing feels a bit loose, almost meandering at times, but it adds to the atmosphere of superficiality. The animation style is distinct, capturing expressions and movement in a way that makes the mundane feel almost surreal. There’s a certain charm to how the characters are animated, giving them a life of their own. It's definitely a curious exploration of priorities, wrapped in a visually appealing package. Not your average animated film, that’s for sure.
