Birdboy: The Forgotten Children

Birdboy: The Forgotten Children is its own unique, damaged creature.

As adult animation goes, Birdboy is its own weird, woolly and surprisingly sensitive foray into the grimmer corners of life. But at its best, when Vázquez and Rivero hit the right mix of melancholy and acidic in their battered fever dream, it plays like a troubled schoolkid’s secret drawings brought to colorful, if unapologetically horrific, life.

Though at first glance this ironically-sweet-and-very-sour mix might seem unappetizing, even repellent, it soon becomes fascinating in its oddball complexity.

What makes Birdboy: The Forgotten Children so effective is the ability to turn the innocent into the macabre.

Alberto Vázquez and Pedro Rivero's film is a phantasmagoria of impressionistic horror, at once despairing, beautiful, haunting, and surreal.

Though its dark riches can at moments feel like overload, and its narrative thrust occasionally grows diffuse, the story casts an undeniable spell.

Psychonauts, the Forgotten Children is bizarre, imaginative and beautiful, but it's also crying out for a stronger narrative.

the movie is amazing and dark but the art is the selling point of the movie I can't even look away the animal were cute. at the end, it's a movie you should go watch it's in the sapinsh movie that looks like a Disney movie but it's not. PS don't watch the dub version of the movie it does sound good

It’s Adventure Time meets Samurai Jack which sounds awesome but I would rather just go watch the aforementioned shows. I like the animations just don’t watch the trailer beforehand which shows everything cool in the movie. Or just watch the trailer and slip the movie.
