Why We Fight (1991) is an intriguing blend of animation that feels both disjointed and purposeful. The sequences are reflective of the chaotic nature of conflict, starting with that jarring transformation of a cowboy to a child, almost serving as a commentary on innocence lost. The animation style has an edgy, raw feel, with moments like the woman's face morphing into a gas mask that strike a chord on the futility of war. There's this unsettling pacing, where each segment builds a sort of anxious anticipation, leaving you pondering the themes of violence and peace. It’s fascinating how the visuals are both simplistic and profound, making it a noteworthy piece in the realm of animated shorts focused on weighty subjects.
