Honestly? I was rooting for Astrid the whole time, who tf just steals a chicken

Oooooooooh man I love stylized animation! Give me a unique sketchy vivid world with monochromatic characters over the pointless hyper-realism most American animated movies have been chasing any day of the week. Motion in a car looks so cool in this! Any scene with the lights turned off looks incredible! Boy oh boy do I love simple plots that lead to madcap shenanigans!

If the Academy doesn't nominate this for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song (it seems eligible since its worldwide release was this year) then that'll be sooooooo embarrassing for them. But yeah knowing them they're gonna overlook all 3 of the lovely little musical numbers in this and instead nominate the credits song from the Netflix Jerry Seinfeld Pop-Tart movie (remember that was a thing????????)

- n’oubliez pas les enfants demain y’a grève

je pense que le vrai message du film c’est ACAB (mort aux poulets)

Linda veut un giga tacos trois viandes sauce biggy algérienne pcq elle a grv la fonsdalle
Du coup elle séquestre un keuf et tabasse sa tante

y’a pas plus français comme film : c’est la grève, on pense qu’à manger et y’a plein de crs lol

Astrid might be stronger than Thanos 🐓

Des enfants qui montent un mouvement social pour caillasser des flics avec des pastèques, ça, ça me parle

Funny, stylish, and very French. This is one of the best animations of 2023, but unfortunately neglected. Only the French can create such a beautifully chaotic parallel between personal and social struggles, wrapped in a sweet facade of childlike innocence.

During a Parisian strike, Linda and her mother go on a farcical trip to get a chicken for a special lunch. The distinctive style of color chunks is such a breath of fresh air, creating a minimal, abstract feel that works well with the farcical nature of the story. It's also admirable how the story finds common ground between fights on both large and small scales, and how the revolutionary spirits shall be passed down to the new generation, even just in the form of buying a chicken. Highly recommended.

poulet as a way to process death and guilt

So so good
