When I Grow Up (2021) offers a tender glimpse into the minds of children through the lens of a simple yet profound inquiry. Ester Kasalová takes us on this charming journey to a kindergarten, where kids share their aspirations with a delightful candor that only young voices can provide. The animation here feels almost like a visual diary; it mirrors children's drawings, capturing their unfiltered imagination in an endearing way. The pacing is gentle, allowing each child's dream to unfold organically, making it almost meditative. It’s not just about what they want to be, but the innocence and creativity that shape their visions. There’s something refreshing in how it celebrates childhood without any pretentiousness. A lovely exploration of dreams in their purest form.
