He Was Once is one of those unique entries that really stands out in the animation and comedy genre. It's like a twisted love letter to the animated religious shows of the past, especially with its absurd take on Davey and Goliath. The use of stop motion gives it this eerie yet playful vibe, and the giant prosthetic ears and hair take it to an entirely different level of surrealism. The atmosphere is unsettling, yet darkly humorous, with that off-kilter pacing that keeps you guessing. The performances, despite being acted out, feel oddly cartoonish, which adds to its bizarre charm. It’s definitely not your typical animation – more like a fever dream wrapped in nostalgia and satire.
