Nicky

About This Movie

So, Nicky is quite an interesting piece, really. Directed by Kenji Iwaisawa, it’s this animated short that revolves around a child glued to a music video. The atmosphere is kind of dreamy, almost surreal, with a pacing that’s deliberately slow — it gives you time to soak it all in. The visuals have a unique charm, almost like a blend of traditional animation with some modern sensibilities. You can feel the music in the way the animation flows, which is definitely a highlight. The simplicity here is striking, exploring themes of childhood wonder and the impact of media. It feels like a slice of life but through a lens of imagination. Worth a watch if you appreciate the quieter moments in animation.

Short runtime allows for repeated viewings.Look out for the unique animation style.Great for discussions about media influence on children.
