Family in the Park is this curious little gem from 2013 that captures a slice of life in Chapultepec Park, albeit through an animated lens. The story follows 'El Negro', who seems perpetually dissatisfied despite the surroundingsālike a modern-day Don Quixote, but in a park. The animation has this simple yet effective style, giving it a unique charm that feels almost nostalgic. The pacing is leisurely, mirroring a Sunday stroll, but then you hit that pivotal moment where a simple question unravels deeper themes of happiness and its inherent costs. What really stands out is how it uses practical effects to create a vibrant atmosphere. It's not your typical animated feature, which makes it intriguing for collectors looking for something a bit off the beaten path.
