a Fundamentally flawed film in its awkward dialogue, pacing and arguably whole concept. however there is just something about it that’s so special – the uncanny nature of the practical/CGI effect combination, the childish portrayal of the monsters, the magical realism / coming of age crossover (never been a more goated genre combo).
put this on and vibe out, maybe have a cry on behalf of your childhood self, listen to animal collective after.

Shit makes me cry every time. If you haven’t watched this since you were a kid it’s definitely worth the rewatch.

it’s a study of childlike wonder, finding place/purpose, the conflict between stagnant society vs preservation, the importance of death and grief, ethics vs inner drives, and the dangers of obsession. and it’s beautiful. and it’s cozy.
highly highly recommend. the first time i watched it i was like cool this is fun. and then i just kept thinking about it and it kept popping into my mind.
fun and whimsical, but mature and thoughtful.

like some level of tension with your mom or realizing you want to be one but issa real uphill path there
but also if you miss how pixar movies hit you in the chest before both of you got older
or if you just love stunning animation or “wait that was who?!” voice casting

separate your to do list into what does and doesn’t require a screen, and do those lists separately
means you aren’t constantly bouncing between a screen and the material world. Bonus points if your screenless list is completed without any music or podcasts or anything at all. You’re hiding your true power level by blocking all your thinking with consumption!!
posting a neoluddite rec on pifyi is basically reaction farming I’ve realised but I’m NOT that cynical I promise
