So, 'Spare Change' is this short animation from 2008 by Ryan Larkin. The storyline revolves around Astral Pan, a beggar navigating the streets of Montreal, and it's filled with these wild, almost surreal experiences. The animation style has a certain rawness to it – kind of captures Larkin’s unique flair. It's gritty but also has a playful tone. The pacing shifts between these comical moments and those that get a little existential, taking us on a trip that swings from the cold streets to these vibrant depictions of Heaven and Hell. What stands out is how it blends humor with some heavy themes, reflecting the struggle and absurdity of life on the streets, which is pretty distinct in the animation realm.
