Darrel

About This Movie

Darrel is this quirky little animated piece from 2016 that really nails the feeling of unfortunate circumstances. It follows two amphibians, and honestly, their chemistry is almost palpable, but then life happens – think of it like a series of unfortunate events, but with a lighter touch. The pacing can be a bit jumpy at times, but it adds to the chaotic feel of their misadventures. The animation itself has this charming, hand-drawn quality that feels refreshing amidst all the CGI these days. Themes of love and failure weave through the narrative, and you can’t help but feel for these characters. There’s a rawness to it, a certain honesty that just makes it stand out in a sea of polished animations.
