Life Before Life is a curious piece, really. The animation style has a sort of dreamy quality to it that elevates the simplicity of Bruno's journey. You get this gentle yet melancholic atmosphere that resonates throughout the short runtime. The pacing is quite contemplative; it allows you to absorb Bruno's fleeting moments before his unfortunate fate. The themes of innocence and the search for meaning in a vast world are explored without being heavy-handed, which is refreshing. The practical effects used give a tangible feel to the animation, making it stand out in a sea of digital offerings. It's a film that feels like a meditation on existence, albeit a brief one.
