So, 'Not Over' from 2012 is an interesting piece, really. It’s an animated short that follows this giant stuffed bear as it journeys across the globe. The tone feels light yet thoughtful, kind of whimsical but with a hint of melancholy. The pacing is gentle, allowing you to soak in the visuals and the bear’s experiences. The themes of perseverance and finding meaning in life resonate in a subtle way. The animation style has a handmade quality that stands out - it’s not your typical polished CGI. There’s a warmth to the bear’s character that’s surprisingly emotive, giving it a distinctive charm. It’s one of those films that leaves you reflecting long after it’s over, you know?
