WO RM

About This Movie

WO RM (2022) is this quirky little animation that really plays with themes of wholeness and identity. The story centers on this split worm on a journey to find its missing half – sounds simple, but the execution is fascinating. The pacing feels a bit surreal, almost dreamlike at times, which adds to the overall atmosphere. The visuals are a mix of childlike charm and some really striking contrasts; it’s all very colorful but also has these darker undertones. Plus, there’s an interesting use of practical effects in some scenes that gives it a distinct tactile feel. Not something you see every day in animation, but that’s what sets it apart. The voice performances give it a nice warmth, too.
