Yesterday I watched this beautiful and cute animated movie, which I had mentioned during Netflix’s “GeekedWeek” a few weeks ago. This movie was created by the same filmmakers of 2018’s “Moana”.
This movie was released on July 8th 2022. This movie is an Action/Adventure/Family/Fantasy movie. It has a runtime of 1h and 55 minutes. This movie was written and directed by Chris Williams (2013’s “Frozen”).
Onto the premise: When a young girl stows away on the ship of a legendary sea monster hunter, they launch an epic journey into uncharted waters – and make history to boot.
I really liked this movie, it was emotional, funny, cute, and entertaining. I really liked the references to “Moana” especially the little girl, I called her little Moana.
There’s nothing like a good story at sea! And this is the kind of movie you hope is as good as it looks. And to me, it delivered.
From the impressive physics, beautiful art direction, and immaculate visual execution.. to a proper story with a good message (and symbolism), charming and colorful characters, and dialogue that is never wasted or unnecessary. In fact, there’s a lot of appreciated visual storytelling.. Just one look or one scene, and you can easily put yourself in the shoes of the cast. And while there is little to be said that hasn’t been said before, it manages to create a bountiful world and story worth watchin!
People might compare it to a certain Dragon film.. and doesn’t detract this one from existing. Personally, I liked this one best, but I’m glad there’s just more “colors” to enjoy for everyone.
I only wonder if we’ll see more of it, though I don’t think we should. But one rarely ever knows what we want, until we are surprised with it.
As the movie sad, I have everything I need right here.
Even tho I liked this movie, I can’t stop thinking of its similarities to “How To Train A Dragon”.
I thought the animation was especially well done, because capturing the physics of the ocean, ships and objects together is super tricky. The girl’s voice didn’t really work for me (too young maybe) and some of the dialog could’ve been better,, but overall this is very entertaining moment to moment. I cried laughed while watching this movie mostly because certain things were too close to home, so to speak.
I would definitely recommend it if you liked “Frozen”, “Moana”, “Big Hero 6”, “How To Train A Dragon” or even Pixar’s “Luca”.
Therefore it is “worth a watch”!
