So, ‘Home Cooked Music’ is this intriguing mix of animation and documentary that really stands out. You’ve got Lorne Collie, a retired machinist, who after a brush with death dives into crafting these whimsical instruments. What sets this film apart is how it captures that DIY spirit. The way it animates his quirky creations from everyday objects like lawn rakes and pitchforks into playable stringed instruments is just delightful. The pacing is nice, allowing you to soak in the charm of his world. The film manages to evoke a sense of nostalgia and creativity, and you can't help but appreciate the practical effects that bring his instruments to life. It’s a bit offbeat, but that’s the beauty of it.
