This 10 minute episode shows us that a simple premise, perfectly executed, can be a thing of profound beauty and fulfillment.
And this statement stands as much for this episode as it does for the meaning of the story itself.
Incredible.

'Zima Blue (2019)' is clearly the most unique short featured in 'Love, Death + Robots (2019)'. It centres on an elusive artist trying to capture his essence, via a specific shade of blue, on an increasingly large canvas. It's a simple idea, yet it's shrouded in an enigmatic atmosphere and is oddly compelling. In the end, it's even somewhat profound. It feels like the most mature piece in its anthology, despite being the most 'kid-friendly'. It may not be the most exciting, but it's probably the most engaging. Its calm voice-work and distinct aesthetic are real highlights, too. It's a fantastic effort. 8/10
It made me think it really did, Great job.
No matter how rich are you no matter how famous are you we all have a purpose in this life even if it is simple as cleaning the pool
10 min animated film delivered the message perfectly.

"Zima Blue" gives so much for the viewer to think on even after the episode is over. There's just so much to unpack; so many different feelings at once; such beautiful animation; astonishing storytelling. This is a genuinely amazing piece of art and the best episode of the "Love, Death + Robots" series. Absolutely stunning.

The most outstanding episode of the season, at first I was not comfortable with the strange face of the girl, and then I found the art was wonderful too.
And the way it tell this crazy story which is very thought provoking, I like it a lot, it talks about where we came from, what we will became, and we will recognize ourselves.
No matter how far we will go, we will be back to the most essential and most basic part of the universe, which is actually a good ending.
Brilliant. 10/10

Zima: I will immerse myself. And as I do, I will slowly shut down my higher brain functions... un-making myself... leaving just enough to appreciate my surroundings... to extract some simple pleasure from the execution of a task well done. My search for truth is finished at last. I'm going home.
