So, Scale is this curious piece from '81 that really digs into the notion of a man's relationship with instinct and hierarchy. The animation style is, well, not your traditional approach—it's rough around the edges but somehow fits the themes beautifully. The pacing is meditative, almost hypnotic, as you watch these men navigate their world around a ladder, and it really gets you thinking about the structures we cling to. There’s a distinct atmosphere of melancholy and inevitability that hangs over it, which is rare for animated works of that era. It’s not flashy, but there’s a depth in its simplicity that sticks with you. Definitely a unique find.
