My Life As A Zucchini (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #32 extract: My Life As A Zucchini (2016)

My Life as a Zucchini is a solid piece of stop-motion animation. With an array of pleasant characters, smooth pacing and some sublime moments of cinematography and craft, this is very easy to sink into and enjoy. The only downfalls of this film are a few cheesy or slightly contrived moments. Whilst it has to be noted on this point that I watched the English dubbed version, the structure of this film is very clearly meant to evoke many emotions. 

Unfortunately, I can't say that My Life as a Zucchini, for all its attempts at emotional engagement, achieves much in this regard; having seen Mary and Max, it's hard to taken aback by the serious sides of this picture. Nonetheless, this is a warm film executed very well. If you're into stop-motion animation, this is worth the watch.
