Wire We Here

About This Movie

So, 'Wire We Here' is this odd little animated piece from '91 that dives into a pretty profound theme while being all whimsical and playful. You've got these two characters made from pipe cleaners, which is a refreshing touch, really. They stumble through their cardboard universe, completely clueless about the external forces pulling their strings. The pacing is kind of meandering, but it works to build that sense of existential dread mixed with humor. There’s something about the practical effects that give it a tactile feel, almost like you could reach out and touch them. The performances—if you can call them that since they're animated—carry a certain charm. It's quirky and wonderfully strange, and it leaves you pondering about reality and creation long after it ends.
