Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the only animated films to feature the navigational needs of a ship in the age of sail. Throughout the film, the Inevitable is seen being navigated using accurate sailing commands and seamanship (with much artistic liberty). A sailing master is present (Mrs. Merino) who directs the movements of the ship under Captain Crow's commands, and consideration is given in the dialogue and animation to real-world actions of masts, sails, rigging, and wind direction.
- GoofsIt is physically impossible for water not to be flowing in through the open nostrils of Red when she is underwater, thereby drowning Jacob and Maisie who are sitting right behind it. However, if you watch carefully when Red surfaces, you'll see a red edge of skin shift across the nostril before Maisie and Jacob get blasted with air. That appears to be a nictating membrane of some sort, albeit clear so people can see through it underwater.
- Quotes
Jacob Holland: What do you think you're doing?
Maisie: I'm afraid anything I say will upset you.
- Crazy creditsThe second half of the credits roll over an old-timey map, with monsters and ships appearing throughout.

Featured review
Charming fun
This has the feel of a recent Disney Animated film, which is definitely a compliment. From a story that has some real weight to it, to a tiny, cute creature that never fails to provide genuine laughs, Chris Williams really has it all down from his time directing some of Disney's best animated films.
I was surprised by the route they took with the story, as I thought it would be a simple beast hunting plot. The Sea Beast has some real How to Train Your Dragon vibes and it honestly worked for me. It hits a lot of the expected story beats, but when your film is this delightful, you really don't mind. I hope Netflix continues to produce this kind of quality animated fare.
