Year of the Ham is an offbeat animated piece that doesn't rush its narrative, allowing the emotional weight of the pig's struggle to really settle in. The animation style is a bit quirky, lending itself to a more handcrafted feel rather than slick, high-budget productions. It captures this raw atmosphere of survival and resilience—not just for the pig, but for the family unit as a whole. It’s interesting how they weave in humor amidst the hardships, creating a contrast that keeps it engaging. The pacing drags a little in spots, but it reflects the monotony of tough times. Overall, it’s the kind of film that you can appreciate for its ambition and heart, if not for technical perfection.
