Recipe Book

About This Movie

So, 'Recipe Book' is an animated feature that really plays with whimsical ideas and family dynamics. The story follows these two sisters who, after discovering an old recipe book, embark on this cake-baking adventure. The twist, where one sister transforms into a goose after tasting the cake, adds a surreal layer that’s not just about the magical realism; it explores themes of identity and sibling bonds. The animation style is charming, with a hand-drawn feel that gives it warmth. Pacing's a bit uneven at times, but it fits the dreamlike quality. The practical effects in the transformation scenes are really quite well done, adding a tactile sense that enhances the absurdity. It’s definitely something different in the animation sphere.
