The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse (2022)
Beautifully animated but joltingly bad dialogue

I love the style of water-coloured paint in this animation with the characters lines not conforming quite correctly as though they've been sketched out.
This film has a strong start with a humourous beginning minute but quickly falls off a cliff. As the boy tries to find his way home he comes across the titular animals each adroitly voiced by top talent. However the story (such as it is) seems to be strictly in service of delivering insipid and disjointed platitudes that have only the most tortured relevance to the scene at hand. Wonderfully styled but utterly banal -as though one hired Van Gogh to paint the words "Live, Laugh, Love" above your couch.
