Broom and Bird is a curious piece from 1988. The animation style feels a bit rough around the edges, which gives it an almost eerie charm. Set against the backdrop of a stark concrete housing estate, it really captures that sense of industrial desolation. The pacing can be slow at times, allowing the viewer to absorb the bleakness of the environment. It's intriguing how the absence of greenery and trees is woven into the narrative, making the absence of birds feel palpable. There's an almost melancholic vibe throughout, as if the film itself is yearning for life among the concrete. It’s distinctive for its social commentary on urban living, exploring themes of isolation and the need for nature in our lives. Definitely a unique entry in the animation genre.
