Snakes & Stairs

About This Movie

So, 'Snakes & Stairs' is this intriguing animated fantasy that dives into the mind of an 8-year-old named Bruno. He’s dealing with the loss of his grandfather, which is a heavy theme, but it’s wrapped up in this magical world where he’s trying to complete a story they started together. The animation has a unique style—kind of whimsical but also a touch of darkness, reflecting Bruno's emotional state. The pacing is a little uneven at times, but it captures that childlike wonder and confusion well. The practical effects and imaginative landscapes really stand out, giving it a distinct look. It’s definitely a film that leans into fantasy while tackling some deeper themes of grief and legacy.
