About This Movie

So, 'Novela' is this quirky animated piece from 1992 that dives into the bizarre world of TV commercial breaks. It captures that strange, almost feverish anticipation of what's coming next in prime-time slots. The pacing is quite unique; it juggles rapid-fire gags and almost surreal humor while touching on the repetitiveness of televised stories. The animation style feels playful, with practical effects that add a tangible quality to its otherwise whimsical vibe. It's intriguing how it critiques our relationship with media consumption, using a comedic lens. The performances, although animated, convey a certain charm and deliver the absurdity of the narratives perfectly. It’s a curious watch, really.
