Buddies

About This Movie

Buddies is a curious little gem from 1999, mixing CGI with a quirky charm that feels both fresh and nostalgic. It's a short film, yes, but it packs in a lot of personality. The characters, primarily a band of animated cacti, navigate their own little world with a lighthearted tone. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged throughout its runtime. What stands out is the animation style, which reflects the era's experimentation with CGI, showcasing a unique visual flair. The themes of companionship and adventure come through in a subtle way, and while it may not be the most profound narrative, there’s something endearing in its simplicity. Definitely something worth noting for collectors into early digital animation.
