An absolute masterpiece. The character development and the emotional fibers of hatred and prejudice are woven into a sonnet of love and redemption. The animation is mindblowing like nothing Ive ever seen before. Although subtle at first Luigis Toy Adventure is a satirical commentary on the dominance and exploitation of capitalism in the western world. This serves as a forlorn warning towards the future but delivers a powerful message hidden behind whispers of words barely enough to evade the notice of the mind but just enough to reveal itself to those that seek its wisdom. A mustwatch for any genre lover. A staple of a generation. An enduring stone in the endless river of mankind and human history. So what exactly makes this film so special? The rest of this review contains spoilers for the Luigis Toy Adventure below. In the opening sequence of the film the camera pans to a vast landscape of a desk littered with toys books pens papers and alcohol. The struggles of the everyman the endless ocean of whitecollar workers through time and space. Moving working breathing but never living. Luigis Toy Adventure does not seek to remedy this question but rather seeks to make light to the husk of a life these men and women of countless generations live through. As it begins the birth of Luigi represented not by the creation of the body but the awakening of the mind is first to begin our journey. He takes a look around his surroundings but does not hesitate to move and work. Almost instantly within seconds of his birth Luigi realizes he is born to run. But to run where and for what purpose? Absolutely nowhere and none at all. Luigi for the entirety of the film aimlessly chases the mushroom just barely out of reach to no avail and to no matter the effort. In his constant pursuit Luigi pays little to no attention to the world around him as he continues his journey. Just as many pass each day living to work and working to live the passage of life and time are swept away in an instant yet ignored for the chase towards that fungus. And as just before the mushroom is just out of his grasp closer than ever before it is cast away into the abyss forever lost to void. One of the most important analogies of the film the mushroom can be easily be interpreted as the whitecollar struggle and pursuit of monetary comfort and happiness. The endless rat race of life running fighting chasing that mushroom. A delusion entranced by millions throughout generations of the past and persisting long into the future of humanity. To find happiness to find comfort to find peace in that hopeless dream that is just a step away but forever out of reach: A modern Tantalus born from the own cruelty of mankind.
