Hurt

About This Movie

Hurt (1979) is one of those curious little animations that sticks with you. The story revolves around a bunny who finds himself at odds with a bear cub, and it's really the mole's intervention that brings the conflict to light. The atmosphere is simple yet effective, with a hand-drawn aesthetic that feels both warm and slightly nostalgic. The pacing is gentle, allowing you to absorb the lessons of friendship and understanding. It's not flashy, but there’s a certain charm to the practical effects used, and the character designs have this raw, emotional quality that makes the interactions feel genuine. Definitely a unique entry in the animation realm, if you ask me.

Hurt was released in a limited run, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors today. It’s not often discussed in the broader context of animation history, which adds to its appeal for those who appreciate the under-the-radar titles. Its original format has not seen many re-releases, so finding a copy in good condition can be a challenge. Collectors often mention the charm of its hand-drawn style, which contrasts with the more polished animations of its time.
