I find that films that are highly stylized can easily alienate their audiences. Their stylized elements push the audience away and keep them at a distance. Because of how apparently different the film looks, feels, or sounds, there is a struggle to keep attention on anything but that, making it difficult to fall into the film’s world and pace. For Night is Short, Walk on Girl, the exact opposite is true. Both the art and animation are highly stylized, yet the very apparent and distinct style actually serves to welcome and comfort the audience.
