Grisha is a fascinating little gem of 2023 animation. It captures the essence of childhood exploration through a simple yet profound narrative. A young boy, Grisha, steps out into the world for the first time, accompanied by his babysitter and a wooden horse—both symbols of innocence and imagination. The pacing flows gently, allowing moments of wonder as he encounters a real horse and a dog, and the rain adds a layer of unpredictability to his adventure. The atmosphere is both tender and slightly surreal, especially when he ends up with a kind janitor after losing his nanny. It’s a story that balances the fear of the unknown with the comfort of unexpected friendships, and that’s what makes it distinctive.
