Best animated film of 2024 according to Cรฉsars and Oscars and it's from Latvia (with help from Belgium and France)

I haven't watched it yet (besides a few clips I've seen here and there), but I'm reminded of how so many games in the 2010s got caught chasing graphical fidelity. That led to a surge in interest in indie games, many of which had objectively shitty graphics, but an art style that was deliberate and interesting. A recent game in that vein that I have played and loved is Signalis, an incredibly artistic survival horror game.

Gaming and animated movies are obviously two completely different mediums, but I reckon we can use the same lens here; I'm going to wait until I've seen this movie (or at least, substantial chunks of it) before I judge it. As you suggest, it being voted best animated movie suggests the story must be great, but what I'm really intrigued by is how well this particular animation style works to support its characters and story

Yeah, I'm as well, especially since it's apprently a silent (no speaking) movie, so the animation really has to do all the heavy lifting. It's only 85 minutes, I might give it a try (I've made it through 3 episodes of Arcane before dropping that because of the animation style). Something about that kind of 3D animation style just looks weird to me and constantly breaks immersion.
