Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Andreas Öhman previously made 'Simple Simon' and 'Eternal Summer'—this is his first animated feature and apparent descent into madness.
The film belongs to a weird micro-genre of 'object POV' movies following 'The Red Balloon' and 'Marcel the Shell', but commits harder to existential dread than either.
