So, Los Angeles '84 is this quirky piece of animation from '84 that really stands out in its use of paper cutouts. It's got this raw, almost experimental vibe. The setting is a swimming pool, and after a pretty typical competition scene, things take a wild turn with unexpected figures making their way onto the podium. The pacing’s a bit all over the place, but that’s part of its charm. It feels spontaneous and alive, like you’re witnessing something totally unique. The practical effects really pop, bringing this handmade quality that you just don’t see in mainstream animation today. Overall, it’s a fascinating exploration of competition and surprise, with a tone that blends absurdity and creativity in a really interesting way.
