So, 'Semper Idem' is quite the curious piece from 1991. The animation style is surreal, almost dreamlike, and there's this intriguing playfulness throughout. The protagonist, with a lampshade for a head, really embodies the theme of imagination – you see him toggle between creativity and mundanity with that pull-cord. It’s almost hypnotic in a way, the pacing allowing you to really soak in each scene. The practical effects are charmingly retro, adding a layer of warmth that digital can’t quite replicate. And the atmosphere? It’s a bit melancholic but also whimsical. You can tell it’s not just a simple short; there’s a depth that lingers after viewing. Definitely a unique entry in animation history.
