So, X Marks the Aardvark is an interesting pick from 2023. The animation style really captures a zany vibe, which fits well with the quirky premise. Borge, the aardvark, is charmingly naive, and watching him dodge those mad scientists—Dr. Membra and Dr. Morris—is a real trip. The pacing is a bit all over the place, but it kind of works in a chaotic way, echoing the madness of the scientists' tower. The bubblegum theme adds a layer of absurdity, reflecting societal obsessions with consumerism and novelty. The practical effects in some of the chase scenes are a nice touch, giving it this tactile feel that’s refreshing in a CGI-heavy landscape. It's not groundbreaking, but it has its own weird charm.
