Plot Summary
Blue is a young girl navigating the streets of a terrifying, sinister fantasy world all alone. When she meets Emmm, a fellow lost soul, she joins him on a quest for some ice cream. Upon arriving, they realize the ice cream shop has been taken over by dark forces, and the whole city is teeming with evil. Bizarre monsters surround Blue and Emmm on all sides until Rain, a sadistic hero, arrives to rescue them and exterminate the source of the evil. We Are the Strange is its own imaginative and immersive universe. M dot Strange spent three years painstakingly creating this film, using a range of animation techniques--traditional, stop-motion, computer, and his own unique blend of 8-bit graphics and anime, dubbed `Str8nime.` The stunning visuals are complemented by a soundtrack that is both beautiful and harrowing. The end result is a freaky technocarnival ride that climaxes with a momentous battle between innocence and darkness.
Customer Reviews
The Best American Anime Ever
When the history of 21st Century Animation is written We Are The Strange will be remembered as this generations Steamboat Willy. In 25 years when people ask what the Greatest Films of All-Time were I would not be surprised if it was included alongside such great films as Citizen Kane, The Wizard of Oz, & The Godfather. It's that good and could easily hold its own against any film in The Criterion Collection. M Dot Strange is to Indie Animation what Robert Johnson was to the Blues. Plain & Simple, yet having found some timeless quality that people spend their whole lives looking for. This movie changed my life.
Is this dude a cyborg?
I remember every year seeing those old school Stop Motion cartoons. I loved them! They had heart. They had soul! This movie has that style albeit a little more grownup and creepy. I love the style and I love the strange.
