I am so sorry to any ant I’ve ever killed 😭😭

I am so sorry to any ant I’ve ever killed 😭😭

This movie inexplicably gave me a lot of anxiety...

I don’t necessarily fault the film for that, some films are meant to give you anxiety (see: Uncut Gems) but I’m not really sure why for this one.

It’s definitely a trip! The animation is quite inventive and freaky.

As you’re looking at the blue people’s world you see them as the enemy, but as you see the little people world you realize that much of it is about how all power corrupts and knowledge frees. That being said, much of the imagery exists for its own sake and it’s quite beautiful to see the world these animators have created.

Sometimes stressful but entirely unique, it’s amazing that this was even made.

"I was a living toy. But on occasion, a toy that dared to rebel."

I went in blind for this film, and to be fair, it actually really charmed me!! The animation + the art were so stunning!!! Also so creative, strange and surreal that it was really beautiful!! The sound design is spectacular!! The soundtrack is also amazing!! It suits this film so well and I'm just so happy that I've watched this because wow.. just wow. This film is phenomenal!!

I also really enjoyed the deep, beautiful meaning behind the story, representing themes like political resistance as the Oms fight back against the Draags. Racism due to how the Draags think of themselves as the superior species which additionally goes under the theme of animal cruelty which is shown by reversing the roles so that humans are treated as pets + pests instead of animals, and to be fair, I think this film did amazingly in spreading these messages across to the audience. So amazingly that it was scary.

I'll definitely have to look into getting the Criterion copy at some point!! :))
