Magpie

About This Movie

So, 'Magpie' from 1982 is this quirky little animated piece that's all about a magpie, who is just obsessed with shiny things. The animation style has this handmade feel, almost a bit rough around the edges, which adds a certain charm. The pacing is kind of whimsical, meandering through the magpie's adventures and misadventures. You really get a sense of that childlike wonder and greed, which is a fascinating theme. The sound design also plays a role, with chirps and jingles that really enhance the atmosphere. It's distinct, feels very much like a product of its time, and definitely sticks in your mind for its oddity. Not your usual fare, but that's what makes it intriguing.
