I, Object

About This Movie

I, Object is an intriguing exploration of childhood grief and the extraordinary world of the ordinary. The animation flows softly, with a dreamy quality that reflects Tom's inner turmoil. The pacing is gentle, allowing viewers to really soak in each interaction he has with these anthropomorphized objects—every pop can lid and suitcase has a story to tell. It’s a distinctive take on healing, where the mundane becomes magical and emotional weight is carried without heavy dialogue. The performances, though animated, resonate deeply; you can feel the loneliness and hope. It’s not every day you encounter a film that sees the potential in inanimate things, and that’s what sets this apart.

This film is a rare find, often overshadowed by more mainstream animations, which has resulted in a limited release history. Collectors note the scarcity of physical copies, particularly the original format. There's a growing interest in its unique storytelling approach, as it resonates with those who appreciate animated features that delve into deeper emotional themes rather than just surface-level entertainment.
