Bestiarium is this intriguing animated short from 1989 that really takes you on a trip. Directed by Eku Wand, it has this surreal atmosphere, almost dreamlike. The pacing is kind of languid but in a way that enhances the overall mood. It’s not your typical animation; there's a heavy focus on bizarre creatures that seem to embody themes of transformation and otherness. The practical effects have this raw quality, giving life to the animation in a way that feels tactile and almost eerie. The performances, while not traditional voice acting, effectively convey a range of emotions that really pull you in. It’s distinctive, for sure, a little oddball but worth diving into if you appreciate animation that pushes boundaries.
