The Drop

About This Movie

The Drop is this intriguing animation from '84 that dives into the journey of a water droplet. It explores the relationship between various bodies of water—the river, the sea, and the ocean. The pacing feels almost meditative, allowing you to absorb the visuals and the underlying themes about nature's duality, its beauty, and its potential for destruction. The practical effects are quite engaging for the era, blending hand-drawn elements with some clever techniques that bring the water's properties to life. It’s not just for kids; there's a depth here that invites reflection. The animation style might not be as slick as today’s standards, but it has its own charm that sets it apart. Definitely a conversation starter for collectors.
