So, 'The Selection' from 1982 is this intriguing animated satire that skewers gender roles and societal expectations of femininity. The animation style feels quite distinct, almost quirky, which adds to the overall satirical tone. It doesn’t rush, allowing the themes to simmer; you really get a sense of the absurdity of the norms it's critiquing. It’s not just about what’s being said but how it’s portrayed, almost a dance of visuals and narrative. There’s a certain rawness in the animation that gives it character—like it’s not trying too hard to be polished. The pacing is deliberate, letting the satire breathe. Worth noting is how it reflects the attitudes of its time, making it quite a time capsule in a way.
