David

About This Movie

So, 'David' from '77 is a curious piece, really. The animation style, while not groundbreaking, has this raw and textured feel that gives it an odd charm. The story, centered around a giant's futile attempts to squash the titular David, plays with themes of vulnerability and resilience. The pacing is kind of leisurely, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere, which feels both whimsical and slightly dark. There’s something intriguing about the practical effects, too; they have this tactile quality that’s often lost in today’s polished animations. It’s distinct for its unconventional narrative arc, leaving you pondering the relationship between the giant and David long after it ends.

Finding a copy of 'David' can be a bit tricky, as it wasn’t widely circulated back in the day. The format history shows it originally released on VHS, making good condition copies somewhat scarce. Collector interest has been increasing, particularly among those who appreciate unique narratives in animation. It’s one of those films that quietly finds its place in a well-curated collection.
