Buzz Box is an interesting slice of 1985 animation that dabbles in the realm of experimental storytelling. It’s this curious little short that reflects the saturation of television culture, almost like a surreal take on a daily dose of media consumption. The pacing feels disjointed at times, which might throw some viewers off, but that’s part of its charm. The practical effects are worth noting—there’s a tactile quality to the animation that contrasts sharply with the glossy styles of the era. You get this strange, dreamlike atmosphere that makes you ponder the relationship between viewers and screens. Sure, the director's unknown, but that only adds to its mystique. It’s something that stands apart from the more conventional animated shorts of its time.
