Often, short films, particularly animated ones, sit between film and other media disciplines. It’s Such a Lovely Day is peculiar since it is neither a standalone film nor a series of episodes. It is a feature-length adaptation of a trio of short films.
While the title frames appear 30 to 60 seconds into each short, it is difficult to determine where one short finish and the next starts when seeing the feature film, as the shorts create a single narrative. Yet, each component has its own attributes.
The film’s clear main theme is that every day of life is lovely. And this dying enables us to enjoy life. Bill was apparently reared by a single mother. His family was plagued by dementia and other ailments. Many members of his family have perished due to a variety of illnesses and/or suicide. Bill was eventually diagnosed with a dangerous condition comparable to a tumor. When he had his first attack, he was brought to the hospital, where the physicians were baffled by what was occurring. William recovered and was released from the hospital. Bill, like most of us, feared death. He even spent hours contemplating it. Fear of death was so intense for Bill that he barely survived. Despite this, he began to progressively feel better and more positive about the future.
