    The Sea Beast (2022) - A highly underrated animated film on Netflix about a little girl and her Kaiju. Unfortunately, most people ignored this movie because of the "Netflix" logo but I assure you it's as good as any theatrically released Disney or Pixar animated feature.

    Netflix’s “The Sea Beast” has to be an underrated animated film that some how slipped through the cracks as it invokes a lot of what the older Dreamworks movies did. If that doesn’t sell you it’s like How To Train Your Dragon and Pirates of the Caribbean had a baby.

    I don't think it can be overstated how big Nezha 2 and KPop Demon Hunters have become this year. Nezha 2 is the highest-grossing animated film of the year, whereas KPop Demon Hunters is hitting huge streaming numbers like The Sea Beast did, and multiple songs from the film are charting super high.

    Another Au idea inspired by mermay, it will probably be a pirate au because I love pirates and sea monsters. This piece is inspired by that scene from The Sea Beast movie. The man can be seen as one of the Pines twins or just a very unlucky sailor. #gravityfalls #billcipher #mermay #gravityfallsau

    So many things get lost in the streaming shuffle, but watching K-POP DEMON HUNTERS reminds me there a few a few banger animated films just hanging out that truly deserve a physical release. Apart from ‘K-Pop,’ THE SEA BEAST & ORION AND THE DARK were similarly great yet seem somewhat forgotten.

    The Sea Beast Directed by Chris Williams; starring Zaris-Angel Hator, Karl Urban, Jared Harris, Marianne Jean-Baptiste; written by Nell Benjamin, Chris Williams A young girl escapes the orphanage in the hope of becoming a sea-faring monster hunter. Efficient direction, fun monsters, cool pirates, all rendered in gorgeous CGI. All of which feels a bit wasted on a highly derivative story and characters with unsatisfying arcs.

The second time, watch it and look at it with writer's eyes, because it's extremely well-written. It will teach you a lot. #TheArtOfStory #Writing #TheSeaBeast

    I feel like Moana worked best as a one and done kind of film. Zootopia, Big Hero 6, and Wreck it Ralph had world building that was compelling enough for a sequel. Funny enough, Chris Williams did pitch his own Moana 2 which became the Sea Beast and it’s actually worth checking out.

    The studios insisted on a “love interest” to supposedly appeal to women who might want to go to the movie. In this case, Joan Bennett. This was a remake of the silent The Sea Beast (‘26) also with Barrymore, where the love interest was Dolores Costello. Ridiculous.
