Vandals

About This Movie

So, 'Vandals' is an interesting little piece from 2016, blending animation with comedy in a way that's quite unique, I’d say. The story follows this anxious young guy, caught in a dilemma about whether to deface a rival school's mascot during a prank. It's got this charmingly offbeat vibe, kind of quirky humor that feels fresh, even if the animation style is a bit rough around the edges. The pacing is nice; it keeps you engaged but also allows for those moments of inner conflict to breathe. Themes of peer pressure and self-identity weave through the narrative, which gives it some depth. The performances, though animated, manage to capture that awkwardness of teenage life quite well. Not your typical school prank film, that's for sure.
