Eighty-Six

About This Movie

Eighty-Six is a unique blend of adventure and animation set in a rather grim future. The narrative revolves around two canines, each with varying degrees of wolf ancestry—one being 86% and the other 50%. The world they inhabit is harsh, filled with the remnants of humanity's past conflicts. Visually, the film employs a striking palette that enhances the dystopian atmosphere, enlivened by practical effects that lend a certain rawness to the characters. The pacing is unhurried, allowing for moments of reflection amid the action. Themes of identity and survival resonate strongly, and the performances of the animated dogs are surprisingly emotive, which adds depth to their struggle. It's this combination that makes Eighty-Six stand apart in the crowded landscape of animated films.
