So, 'Homework' from 1986 is this quirky animated piece that really leans into that whimsical tone typical of mid-80s animation. It’s about a freshman who, rather strangely, befriends a pen. The whole notion of a kid writing an assignment with a sentient object is, well, oddly charming. You get this atmosphere that’s both playful and slightly surreal, which really captures that youthful sense of imagination. The pacing has a nice rhythm—slow at times, allowing you to soak in the charm, then zipping along during moments of creativity. It's not exactly groundbreaking in terms of animation techniques, but the character designs have a distinctive flair. All in all, it’s that kind of film that illustrates the creativity of its era without trying too hard.
