In a lot of ways, it’s a normal cliche coming-of-age story, but I think that with each passing day, kids are acting more and more like grownups, and this is a story that needed to be told again. Just last night, I saw a kid that looked to be around 6 vaping and cursing on a livestream, and it was really sad to me. It’s good to remind kids that they can just be kids and can let their weird and“cringe” side out. This is a message that kids need to hear more than ever.

The Tragedy of Man 2011
I want to cry, what an amazing work of art this is. “The Tragedy of Man” really shouldn’t work as well as it does, a story taking place over several thousand years, with changing animation styles, and protagonists, toppled with extremely heavy themes and imagery and exhausting dialogue in an animated feature, but it does. Perhaps the main reason I love this film is because it perfectly combined some of the things I love the most like philosophy, theology, history,…
