Blanket

About This Movie

So, 'Blanket' is a curious little animation from 2020. It dives into the life of this grumpy Polar Bear in a beautifully rendered icy landscape. The tone is both whimsical and a touch melancholic, which is a nice juxtaposition considering the bear’s disposition. I found the pacing to be quite deliberate, allowing moments of solitude to linger, emphasizing the bear's loneliness. The animation style has a cozy, hand-drawn quality that feels warm despite the cold setting. It’s interesting how this film explores themes of unexpected friendship and change. Not a lot of dialogue, but the bear's expressions and the sparse sound design really pull you in. Definitely has a distinct atmosphere that sets it apart from other animated features.
