Adventure Time – Food Chain
Masaaki Yuasa makes animation that feels like it shouldn’t work—chaotic frame-by-frame drawings, characters stretching and fracturing, entire worlds that move like no other studio touches. Mind Game,
Ping Pong,
everything he does has this urgent, almost violent energy.
So I was curious when I heard he was directing an Adventure Time
episode, some short about predators and prey. With Yuasa handling it, even a simple nature story about the food chain probably becomes something weirder, darker, more alive than it has any right to be.
