Ma doi, hungry ghost

About This Movie

So, 'Ma doi, hungry ghost' takes you to Hôi An, where the atmosphere is steeped in the rich traditions of Vietnamese culture. The animation style is striking—think vibrant colors that almost dance off the screen. Linh, our young protagonist, has this spirited charm, and the spirit she summons? Quite the troublemaker! The pacing feels reflective, allowing you to soak in the festival's rituals. Themes of connection between the living and the dead are woven throughout, giving it a unique depth. The visual storytelling, combined with hauntingly beautiful sound design, sets a tone that's playful yet contemplative. Not your typical animated fare, that's for sure, and it really makes you think about how we honor those we've lost.
