HBO Max. Or else you can rent it from digital sites
Family liked it, especially the kids, but the ending was like, wait what? It’s over?
I realized part way through the title works on a few levels. It was refreshing to realize this wasn't remotely following the 3-act narrative structure and I had no idea what was happening next.
The poor whale x.x. I throught for sure the cat was going to climb the mountain and see the elk herd circling like in their dream.
And it's European! 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
Nice! Have it on my watchlist hopefully I can see it soon :3
I’m planning to watch this one, got told it’s quite good.
It's so fun and endearing! Really heartwarming.
Same
Rendered in EEVEE? Really? Wow! Considering you get so much more optical fidelity with Cycles it's really astonishing they've used EEVEE.
FYI EEVEE now supports ray tracing so lighting can be much better than before with much less hassle. cycles is obviously better for pbr but EEVEE can easily be used for more stylized renders, and probably be preferred.
The fact that all the textures look painted explain why eevee was used. There are frames in this movie that look like literal oil paintings.
The creator favoured speedy feedback on everything. And it's not like you can't make things look gorgeous in EEVEE, why go for fidelity when you can make things look nice.
But the thumbnail, isn't that just the album cover from Nirvana's Nevermind?
If you remove the fishes, replece the cat with a baby, and add a dollar on a fishing hook, it's literally the same.
If my grandma had wheels she'd be a bike
Balls, said the Queen, if I had two I'd be a king!
With a huge drippin hog
Psshht, mine's bigger.
I liked the movie, but my (small) kids cried a lot during and after the movie.
Hahaha yeah same, was not expecting it to get on top of them so easily.
I feel like young kids these days are desensitized to scary imagery (ghosts and ghouls and blood and guts) but take jeopardy or peril really hard.
First time my 3 year old saw The Lego Movie he got very upset at the part where they were falling at the end of the Wild West scene
Wanna watch it with my 6 and 9 year olds soon. Is it that sad?! I skipped through it and it looked nice.
Its not that its sad so much as there is a lot of stress and peril and the ending isn't really happy or sad. Its a complicated movie that falls outside the disney format of "bad thing happens, good guys badn together, day is saved and everyone is fine".
It feels like its exploring themes of loss and moving forward. But theres some moments where I genuinely have no idea what happened.
I kinda like exposing my kids to that though. The movie didnt spoon feed you answers and encourages you to draw your own conclusions. My 10 year old was hooked by the halfway mark but my 5 year old was like this the entire time 🫣
It's not sad, but there's a lot of anxiety inducing moments.
Well-deserved win! Watched this in the cinema a few weeks back. What immediately struck me about the beautiful art style is that it felt more like what you’d expect from a labor-of-love indie game than from a dreamworks/pixar studio – and it was incredibly refreshing! Also, for a movie where water plays a big role, the fluid rendering was absolutely breathtaking. I could almost smell the warm plastic air of a GPU giving its all.

I thought that too. It was like a long cutscene and I loved it.
