The Dark Side of the Morning

About This Movie

The Dark Side of the Morning is one of those quirky animation pieces that leans heavily into its comedic roots while playing with surreal elements. The pacing can feel a bit erratic, which mirrors the protagonist’s chaotic day as everything that could go wrong does. It’s a wild ride through a series of bizarre situations that push the boundaries of reality. The animation style has this handmade charm, which offers a nice contrast to more polished works of its time. You'll notice this odd blend of humor that occasionally dips into darker themes, giving it a distinctive edge. It’s not always smooth, but that roughness adds to its character.
