The Satellite Girl and Milk Cow (Uribyeol Ilho-wa Eollukso) is the bizarre love story of a Korean satellite that turns into a girl and a boy who has changed into a cow after experiencing a broken heart. It sounds insane, I know. However, regardless of how strange it is, the film is shockingly touching. It also happens to be absolutely hilarious, thankfully, in a good way. The people behind this film are incredibly creative. Portraying the legendary wizard Merlin as a roll of toilet paper is something I never, I repeat, NEVER would have thought of, but it works. This is definitely a must-watch film, especially for those who love animation and can handle a bit of weirdness.

Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆7.5/10
