[someone in the letterboxd reviews has a link to it so you can watch for free!]
a really gorgeous short, lovely use of stop motion and 2d animation, both bringing with them earlier traditions of painting and puppetry.
it's just really beautifully done.
i was unfamiliar with the story while watching. if you'd like to know more check this out.

This 1970-something animated movie is available on Youtube in full as well as some archival sites. I watched it for the first time with a date, and as one Letterboxd user states, it was “more intimate than anal”.
I don’t even care to spoil or preface it for you, I’ll just say it’s got some spectacular watercolor art animations and great tattoo ideas.

This is such a good movie, the art is like no other made by Ghibli, super unique and the story is truly beautiful
It made me very emotional and I say that as someone who doesn't get easily moved by movies
Also would rec Only yesterday and When marnie was there!

Anders Zorn is beloved for good reason. His work was so skillfully made. Zorn's sense of form in particular is really lovely (and often on display because he loved a nude).
I've seen some of his work irl, but not this piece. Zorn's paintings have a lot of presence in person, so I imagine this one is even more cozy and lively when seen in the flesh. I love the diagonal composition and the use of light, as well as her cute cheeks and socks ♡
