Animation films that used to be able to express important stories but are now just spectacles seem to be proliferating these days. Animated films are frequently dismissed as kid-friendly entertainment, speaking down to kids rather than helping them comprehend and internalise important themes and messages. An animated film that perfectly captures the charm of the form is The sea Beast. Without losing older viewers to cheesy humour, it is fully capable of conveying a meaningful story that will amuse and educate younger audiences. It is an amazing accomplishment that will make spectators feel both nostalgic and optimistic.
The sea Beast centres on Jacob Holland (Karl Urban), a renowned sea monster hunter whose life is turned upside down when Maisie (Zaris-Angel Hator), a curious and intrepid little girl, stows away on his ship. Together, they set out on an epic quest into undiscovered territory and unearth shocking truths about the discipline of monster hunting.
Chris Williams, who directed Big hero 6, one of Disney's best animated films, went to Netflix to create an ocean adventure that is both deliciously thrilling and sad. Because animation isn't just for kids, the story isn't extremely sophisticated in order to appeal to all age groups. The sea Beast is an amazing spectacle that harkens back to a time when significant messages and ideas were skillfully woven into a performance. Never are weak jokes and infantile antics compromised in favour of a serious and emotional impact. Maisie serves as a metaphor for younger audiences who are ready to join a heroic adventure but must learn some difficult lessons along the way thanks to her role as the sweet heroine.
The sea Beast is generally enjoyable. The animation technique sets itself apart from the huge companies that dominate the medium, and the aesthetics are superb. Since The sea Beast will only be shown in a few theatres and go to streaming, there will be a tinge of melancholy for those who like the theatrical experience. Granted, the exquisite animation will not be affected by the little screen. The quantity of colour on the screen is astounding. It gives the ocean a vivid aspect. The sea animals keep a more authentic and kid-friendly appearance while balancing the scary description hunters have given them.
