The External World

About This Movie

The External World is this quirky animated short that plays with absurdity and surreal humor. It has this very distinctive art style that feels almost like a mix of sketch and digital animation, which adds to its offbeat charm. The pacing is pretty unconventional – it jumps from one scenario to another, almost like a series of vignettes, which keeps you on your toes. The central theme revolves around a boy trying to navigate his world while learning the piano, but it’s more about the bizarre situations he encounters along the way. The performances, though mostly animated, convey a lot of emotion through expressions and sound design, creating an atmosphere that’s both whimsical and a bit unsettling. It’s one of those films that sticks with you for its oddity and creativity.

Surreal animation style that stands out. · Absurd humor that may not resonate with everyone. · Themes of learning and exploration in a bizarre world.
