It Was Up There

About This Movie

So, 'It Was Up There' is this quirky little animated flick from 2023 that dives into a family legend. You know, the kind of story that gets passed down? It's about a couple driving through the eerie New Mexico desert and witnessing something in the night sky that's just... unexplainable. The animation is all hand-done, which gives it this warm, rustic feel—almost like you’re flipping through an old scrapbook of memories. The pacing is laid-back, letting the absurdity of the night unfold. What I really like is how it balances humor with a sense of wonder; it’s not just about the spectacle but how these moments stick with us, almost like folklore. It’s a bit different from the usual animated fare, for sure.
