The bombastic nature of this film, especially as it explores concepts of death and loss at such a young age, makes We Are Little Zombies such a strong and engaging experience. Following four children who lose their parents in a tragic accident, We Are Little Zombies sees the group form a music act that then rockets into stardom in order to bring eyes to the tragedy that left each one of them orphaned and achieve a rather juvenile ideal of justice. The core of this is the idea of whether or not this is justified or even satisfactory in the end and if these feelings of loss can really be compatible with the way that society wishes one to live. The chiptune soundtrack is bright and bubbly and in direct opposition to the subject matter, especially with the allusions to suicide and self-harm.
