The Sound Collector review
Apr 19, 2025
This series is about a deaf elf (implied via the use of hearing aids) walking about and collecting sounds. Yes, it is as simple as it sounds and it is very cozy for that.
The animation is stop motion, atop live action footage when the titular character goes about searching for sounds. The stop motion itself is always a plus, and it is flexible and fluid. The settings themselves are plesant and very nostalgic, though sometimes the greenscreen is obvious.
The cast is naturally small, most episodes being just the elf and his pet mole. This makes the rare appearences of other characters all the more noticeable.
A strong recommendation.
