Elephant

About This Movie

So, Elephant (2018) is an intriguing animated piece that plays around with this somber yet whimsical tone. The story focuses on an elephant dealing with the blues, which is kind of a unique angle. You know, it's not just about the usual antics; it really dives into the emotional landscape of its characters – very introspective for an animated film. The pacing is quite gentle, allowing moments to breathe, which I find adds to its charm. Visually, it’s distinct with a hand-drawn quality that feels both nostalgic and fresh. The performances, though they’re animated, manage to carry an emotional weight that resonates. It's not what you'd expect from typical animation, and that's what caught my attention.
