So, 'The Charge of Texel' takes you back to 1795 Holland, where this French cavalry venture unfolds against a harsh, icy backdrop. The animation style is quite striking, blending a gritty realism with a painterly aesthetic that really immerses you in the snowstorms and the chaos of battle. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build as Major Lahure prepares for this audacious plan to rescue a trapped British fleet. There’s something to be said about its exploration of loyalty and courage amidst overwhelming odds. The voice performances carry a weight that feels authentic, giving life to historical figures without slipping into caricature. It's a nuanced take on a lesser-known piece of history that merits a spot in any collector's library.
