Big and Small

About This Movie

So, 'Big and Small' from 2020 is this intriguing piece of animation that really plays around with the idea of scale in a child’s imagination. I mean, it starts off simple enough—just a kid and their pocket—but then the narrative spirals into these wild adventures that feel both whimsical and grounded. The pacing has this nice ebb and flow; it never rushes you but keeps you curious. The animation style is charming, almost like a blend of hand-drawn and digital, which gives it a unique feel. The characters are cute, sure, but they have depth too. It’s interesting how it tackles themes of discovery and the endless possibilities of childhood creativity. Definitely stands apart from typical family fare.
