My Little Underground is one of those animated shorts that lingers in your thoughts long after viewing. Élise Simard blends her own experiences with a visual style that’s stunningly unique—time-lapse photography paired with ink and pastels creates a dreamlike quality that feels both ethereal and grounded in harsh realities. The pacing flows like a stream of consciousness, bouncing between moments of clarity and confusion, mirroring the struggles of addiction. It’s haunting, yet there’s a certain warmth in how it explores themes of self-discovery and rebirth. The animation feels alive, almost breathing, with every frame painstakingly crafted to evoke emotion rather than just tell a story. It’s a reflective piece that stands out for its honesty and artistic ambition.
