Smell the Flowers

About This Movie

So, 'Smell the Flowers' from '96 is this charming little animated piece that feels like a breath of fresh air. The pacing is gentle, almost meandering, which really lets you soak in the lush visuals. It’s about a busy executive, right? Then a bird swoops in, and suddenly it's like the office becomes this vibrant world of flora and fauna. It contrasts the corporate grind with nature's beauty, which is a theme that resonates deeply. The animation style has a handmade quality, with practical effects that give it a unique texture. The surprise ending? It’s a nice touch, though I won't spoil it. It’s one of those films that sticks with you, quietly urging you to appreciate the little things.
