Butter

About This Movie

So, Butter (2025) by Linda Gagelmann is this quirky animated comedy that kind of dances around the absurdity of life. The animation style has this playful, almost handmade feel, which gives it a unique charm. The pacing is interesting, a mix of rapid-fire humor and slower, more reflective moments. Themes of self-acceptance and the absurdity of societal expectations run throughout, which is kind of refreshing in the animated space. The voice performances are lively, full of personality and really bring the characters to life. Plus, there’s a distinct use of practical effects blended with animation that adds a tactile element to the visual storytelling. It’s definitely a different flavor in the animation genre, something that stands apart from the usual fare.
