Good Forest

About This Movie

So, 'Good Forest' is this quirky little animation from '83 that really leans into its own whimsical vibe. You’ve got these baby squirrels going through some sort of re-education process, and it’s all set against this lush, almost surreal forest backdrop. The animation style? It feels a bit rough around the edges but in a way that adds to its charm. The pacing is definitely not what you'd expect—slow in parts, but it gives you time to really soak in the forest's atmosphere and the squirrels' journey. Themes of community and nature are woven throughout, and the practical effects, though dated, have their own unique flair that you don't see often nowadays. It’s a distinctive gem for sure, giving a different vibe than the mainstream stuff of its time.
