So, 'Daddy Went. Daddy Did' is this interesting animated piece set against the backdrop of the Great War. The tone is quite somber, yet it doesn't shy away from a rather raw depiction of propaganda. It’s a bit jarring at times, as it dives into how men, often reluctant, were lured into enlisting - almost like a sobering reminder of that era. The animation style is not your usual glossy affair; it has a gritty, almost hand-drawn feel that complements the heavy themes. Pacing shifts between reflective moments and more intense sequences that really hammer home the emotional weight. The performances, even though animated, carry a lot of gravity. It’s the kind of film that lingers in your mind long after.
