So, 'Blue Skies Beyond the Looking Glass' is this intriguing animation that really plays with soundscapes—like, it mashes up Mambo vibes with these Tibetan sound effects. It’s a wild mix, honestly. What caught my attention were the clips of these iconic silent film stars—like, seeing Eric Von Stroheim and Greta Garbo alongside Buster Keaton is pretty wild. The pacing is almost dreamlike, drifting between animation and archival footage, which gives it this unique texture. It feels like a love letter to the silent era, while also being totally its own thing. The practical effects they used in the animation blend seamlessly with those old clips, creating this surreal atmosphere that’s hard to pin down. There's something really special in how it honors the past while exploring new artistic territory.
