Méli-Métro

About This Movie

Méli-Métro is quite the intriguing short animation piece that captures a very specific moment in a child's imagination. The subway setting is pretty distinct; it has this almost claustrophobic yet vibrant atmosphere. The way the little girl interacts with her father, and the other passengers, creates a palpable tension. The pacing feels reflective, allowing viewers to soak in each detail—like the striking pony poster that ignites her longing. While the director remains unknown, the animation style is expressive, conveying a lot through subtle facial expressions. It's those practical effects that really draw you in, adding layers to the storytelling. It’s a lovely exploration of childhood desires and the reality checks that often accompany them. Definitely has a personal touch.
