So, 'Candy Apple' from 2023 caught my attention. The animation style is pretty unique, blending vibrant colors with a somewhat dark undertone. It follows this guy, Dante, who's really caught up in his work—classic trope, right? His 'son' Lucas is this lively character, always nagging him to hit the carnival. When Dante finally snaps, the mood shifts and then, bam, Lucas goes missing. The pacing is interesting; it builds tension quickly but has these lighter moments that contrast well. Themes of distraction and parental responsibilities resonate throughout, which is something I think many can relate to. The character designs are memorable too—definitely stands out in the animation scene. Worth a watch for those who appreciate this kind of storytelling.
