Wings, Legs and Tails is an absurdist animated film that prioritizes surrealism over identity politics. Its strength lies in stylistic subversion of traditional storytelling rather than demographic variety. The film replaces the conventional hero's journey with a focus on the individual struggles of its characters, moving away from the rigid social structures typical of its time. Ultimately, Wings, Legs and Tails serves as a piece of existentialist escapism. It uses non-human characters to explore universal experiences, effectively sidestepping human-centric social categories.
