So, 'Start with Trash' is an interesting little animation from 2021. The direction seems to fly under the radar, which adds to its charm, I guess. It has this gritty, hand-drawn aesthetic that feels a bit raw and unpolished, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. The pacing is kind of erratic—some scenes drag on while others rush by—but it somehow captures that chaotic vibe perfectly. Themes of environmental awareness and the beauty in decay play a big role here, and the practical effects are surprisingly engaging for an animated feature. It's distinctive, for sure, and you can see a lot of heart went into it, even if it feels a bit rough around the edges.
