Train of Thought

About This Movie

Train of Thought is this intriguing little gem from 2011, existing in a realm of paper and ink. The animation style is all hand-drawn, giving it a very tactile, almost nostalgic feel. It’s not your typical romance—more a tender exploration of fleeting moments and connection. The pacing is gentle, matching the rhythmic chug of the train, while the atmosphere is infused with a sense of longing. What really stands out is how the paper world unfolds as the protagonist sketches, blurring the lines between creation and reality. You can almost hear the soft rustle of the pages as scenes transition. The performances, though predominantly visual, convey a depth of emotion that lingers after viewing. It’s a quiet piece that resonates on multiple levels.
