In this preview of ‘The Sea Monster’ we see an adventure of old fashioned monster hunter sailors… in which a girl has sneaked in who instead of wanting to kill monsters, what she wants is to save them. If she even she has named them! The animation is absolutely flawless, and the design of the beasts themselves is somewhat reminiscent of Studio Ghibli. This is a compliment like a cathedral.
In the voice cast (in its original version at least) we have Karl Urban, better known as Eomer in ‘The Lord of the Rings’ or Billy Butcher in ‘The Boys’, accompanied by Dan Stevens (Beast in ‘Beauty and the Beast’), Marianne Jean-Baptiste (‘Homecoming’) or Jared Harris (‘Chernobyl’).
As usual in high voltage productions, the film will be released in select theaters before navigating to Netflix the July 7th. Feel like saving a few monsters, freshwater sailors?
