Sweet & Sour

About This Movie

So, Sweet & Sour is this quirky little animation from 2007 that really dives into the life of a dog who’s taken a shining to Chinatown. It’s interesting how the film balances the whimsical with a touch of anxiety; you can really feel the tension as the pooch grapples with the fear of ending up as dinner. The animation has a unique, hand-drawn vibe—feels warm yet slightly off-kilter. The pacing? It has its lulls, letting you soak in the colorful streets and oddball characters. Plus, the sound design is notable, with street sounds blending into the score, really immersing you in that bustling atmosphere. It’s a curious mix of charm and dread that sticks with you, for sure.
