  A poor orphan child abolishes the British monarchy. It’s great!

  Someone watched HTTYD and said "let's turn the dragons into sea beasts and the vikings into pirates, and while we are at it, let's homage the coolest shots too".
  Anyway, really cute movie.

  When Maisie said "I have EVERY right," monarchies crumbled.

  The Sea Beast may not be original or unpredictable, heck, it takes pieces from familiar stories like How to Train Your Dragon, Moby-Dick, and even King Kong, but you sure can't accuse it of being antiquated or dumbed-down.

  It's obviously made for the youngins, but its anti-hunting, anti-war, and anti-imperialist messaging and diverse set of characters, most of which are powerful women of color, make it for a fun and educational watch for kids and adults alike.

  ARRGGGHHH I FUCKING LOVE ANIMATION THAT USES THE MEDIUM TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL AND NOT JUST BECAUSE CHILDREN LIKE DRAWINGS. I LOVE MOVIES THAT TELLS FAMILIAR STORIES BUT CAN STILL HOOK THE AUDIENCE THROUGH INTERESTING CHARACTERS AND DEVELOPMENT. I FUCKING LOVE WATCHING A MOVIE I HEARD NOTHING ABOUT AND BE SURPRISED WHEN IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD ARRRGGGHH

  Review by davidehrlich ★★★

  With the exception of “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” — which Netflix acquired from Sony a few short months before its release — and a handful of niche gems like “Apollo 10 ½” and “I Lost My Body,” the world’s largest streamer has done a spectacularly poor job of producing original animated movies that continue to exist once they leave people’s homepage. A swashbuckling family adventure that splits the difference between “How to Train Your Dragon” and “Master and Commander” while remaining just salty enough to stay afloat on its own strengths, Chris Williams’ (“Moana,” “Big Hero 6”) epic “The Sea Beast” suggests that the tide is potentially about to turn.

  At the risk of grading “The Sea Beast” on…

  Lovely. Not the most groundbreaking story or exciting character designs but you won't hear me complaining. A sincere, sweet-natured movie like this really pops in the current landscape of ugly, cynical focus-grouped reference parades. Very refreshing to watch a family movie that's not obsessed with making unfunny pop culture jokes to keep the parents engaged, like an aging vaudeville comedian slamming pies into his face to try to keep people from going home to watch Texaco Star Theater on television.

  I sort of get it. The impulse to "not talk down" to kids is a noble one but it's also an easily corrupted one, especially if you're lazy. It's nice to watch something that's not trying to be arch or clever or coy. If you really wanna respect kids it's as simple as not telling them dog-shit jokes.
