The Dabblers

About This Movie

So, The Dabblers is this quirky little animated piece that throws King Richard III back into the fray, but not in the usual sword-swinging way. Instead, you get this bizarre scenario where he's digging through history, and all the while, he’s stuck babysitting a bunch of ducks. The animation style has this charmingly rough edge to it, which adds a layer of whimsy that’s hard to shake off. It's a blend of dark humor and absurdity, you know? The pacing feels experimental at times, which might throw some off, but I think it contributes to the overall vibe. There's something about the practical effects that brings a tangible feel to the animation, which is kind of rare. And honestly, Richard's characterization feels oddly relatable amidst all the chaos.
