So, "Mex and the Animals" is a 2021 animated feature that dives into a somewhat surreal world, where a cyborg protagonist navigates the blurred lines between virtual reality and our pressing environmental issues. The animation style is, well, a bit unconventional, a mix of vibrant colors and almost dream-like sequences that give it a unique atmosphere. It feels like a nostalgic reflection on grief for lost species, which is pretty heavy for an animated flick. The pacing... it's a bit uneven, but that kind of adds to the dreaminess of it all. The performances are surprisingly engaging, especially considering the director remains unknown. Overall, it’s distinctive in its approach to themes of loss and technology.
