So, 'Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 5' is quite the trip. Directed by Becky Sloan, this installment continues that weird blend of animation, comedy, and fantasy we’ve come to expect. The remaining puppets dive into the theme of healthy eating, which is, of course, overshadowed by that eerie phone call that turns everything upside down. The pacing is deliberately off-kilter, mixing unsettling vibes with humor that feels both dark and playful. The practical effects are something to appreciate here too - they really lean into the tactile feel, making it all the more surreal. It's distinctive, really, how it juxtaposes cheerful visuals with such bizarre, almost existential themes. If you're into that mix of unsettling humor and whimsical animation, this one’s a solid stop.
