I mean I think anything can beat Disney at this point not gotta lie

Sea Beasts did well financially and critically, but it still feels kinda underrated. In my opinion, that world is so well realized, imaginative, and beautiful, watching it gave me the same feeling I had watching How to Train Your Dragon. Great fucking movie.

One thing I love about The Sea Beast is that Red is allowed to remain wild. Like, movies and shows such as How To Train Your Dragon, or The Croods, or Pokemon all have the theme of "these giant creatures aren't evil monsters, they're just misunderstood and peaceful beings!" But then...they make pets and companions of them and show all species as able to be domesticated and tamed, and it's honestly kind of weird how pop culture sees the opposite of "destructive evil monster" as "tamable trainable pet material" with very little middle ground? I like the vibe Red gave in this movie. She's not a murderous monster, just an innocent animal living her life, but at the same time, she is not a pet, or even a friend. She is a wild creature who at most tolerates the protagonists, who have no control over her when she decides to retaliate against a percieved threat. And at the end she doesn't become a loyal companion like Toothless does, but rather returns to the wild with no further contact: an untamable, free creature best appreciated from a respectful distance as all wild animals should be.

No, what's depressing is knowing the animators try their hardest and either know it's going to be a flop, or believe that something is going to change that this is the one to bring them out of the hole of criticism. The main problem isn't the animators, but instead the Disney CORPORATION.

Man The people complaining about movies being similar to other movies really don't understand the "Holy shit! Two cakes!" meme Like, yes, please give me more scary beast turns out to be nice things PLEASE

Not to mention the animation was just as amazing as the storytelling

I can't believe this is the same director who directed Bolt and Big Hero 6.

The director, Chris Williams, is also slated to direct a sequel to The Sea Beast and an untitled film described as “original fantasy in the tradition of Lord of the Rings, but with the attitude of The Princess Bride”, and I’m honestly kinda psyched for them

I loved the quiet scenes where they just let the environments breathe. The first scene inside Red’s nostril and the scene in the big shell on the island where Masey sits alone next to a lantern and she is reevaluating her worldviews, there were no annoying quips, no self mocking jokes, minimal sound track and just the vibe of the scene

FINALLY someone is talking about this movie!! This shit is so slept on it’s not even funny, the story is amazing, it’s nothing crazy grand but it’s something extraordinarily important, and the characters are great, I especially love that it’s pirates and that they even made their own sea shanties for the movie, I highly recommend you guys all watch it it’s an underrated gem

They’re not “fantasy pirates” they’re whalers, the movie is about whaling.

This film's message about revisionist history is probably the best I've ever seen from an animated story. Then the ship being called the Inevitable and how that twists itself into multiple themes and becomes an ironic symbol in the end. God this movie is so good

I absolutely loved Sea beast, especially the relationship between the two mains and the sea explorer/pirate vibe. But just like Pig said the monsters were a bit too basic and cutesy. Wish they went for something actually scary, I mean the crab was really good looking and actually kinda scary the rest of the monsters are just "blobs" with teeth. Don't get me wrong they're good but they also could have been better.

Have you seen Klaus? It's been getting a little more attention with Wish's failure but its still a super slept on movie in my opinion

I will never understand the whole "I don't understand something and that's scary so let's kill it" part of humanity. Why can't it just be "I don't understand this and it's scary, so let's just leave it alone and mind our business"? Why is that not an option.

I’m so glad this movie is getting some attention, super underrated film

Love the hidden gems! Heres a few I discovered: -Kid Cosmic -Kipo and The Legend of The Wonderbeasts -The One All on Netflix

The Sea Beast was truly a fantastic animated and a bit of an underrated gem on Netflix. Still deserves more recognition despite being a bit similar to How to Train your Dragon. ⛵️🐍

Dude as an army brat, Maisy’s character arc hit waaaay too close to home. Seeing her trying to frame her parents death as this epic sacrifice and then learning it was all to line the pockets of the ruling class HURTS.

I love the Sea Beast. Truly a hidden gem. The animation is beautiful, the characters are likable and well-written, the music, the use of color-theory, the narrative, chef’s kiss. Beautiful.

I’m surprised you haven’t seen this hidden gem. I really enjoyed this movie giving how to train your dragon vibes. But it did set itself apart that makes it feel it own thing

I do indeed love talking about disneys downfall

I love the animation style of this. Reminds me of a Sea of Thieves trailer

I don't even have thalassophobia, but that "thalassophobia moment" really freaked me out.

I absolutely LOVED Sea Beasts when I first watched it and it's now a movie I like to have in the background because 1) I know the plot so I don't have to focus my brain too much on it, and 2) it's that good of a movie to rewatch and have going in the background for me. One of the other details in terms of Crow losing everything is that he also lost his ship too; Red fell on top of and crushed it when she was trying to get back up, so not only did he lose his crew and his adoptive son, he also lost the ship that he had for years. There's also the interesting bit that when Red grabbed Maisie during the scuffle she knew how gentle she needed to be without crushing Maisie's foot, because lets face it, Red could've easily done that if this was her first time interacting with people in a more positive way. It makes you wonder if she had a positive interaction with another person before, or else how would she know what's the right amount of force to not hurt Maisie?

Sea beasta haunts my thalassophobia but it is so good and real feeling I can't stop rewatching it

I'M GLAD YOU SHOWED THE TERRIFYING OCEAN PART. WHEN SHE SINKS INTO THE OCEAN??? COLD SWEATS

To be honest, I didn't like the movie, but it HAD potential. I think it was missing something, and it was going way too fast in the pacing. I think that it would have been better as a series, because not only would we have seen more positive interactions with different beasts, but also thicken the overall plot and ending. Also, it would have permitted the people to be more empathic to the characters and their development in the relationship. It would help the plot twist that, for me, was a bit out of nowhere (and the fact that the girl was able to convince everyone in about 15 minutes or so). So yeah, still better than wish tho...

Sea Beast is such a great film! I really appreciate how "mature" and intense it's allowed to be. Like, you literally have a grown man threatening to shoot a child with a gun! And then later that child nearly gets blown up by a canon and she starts bleeding out! This movie is wild, but it's very underrated

I think the disconnect with the witch scene is that people don't see him losing everything as a consequence of going to the witch. Like yes he did lose everything but considering the direction of the story, I think they're assuming that it would've happened regardless (and assuming that him and his son/crew would be able to make peace and he could retire with what limbs he has left).

I really like the digital camera work in the clips of the movie. Definitely going to go watch it now.

So glad your finally talking about this movie!!! I loved it so much watching it with my sister's last year :)

I agree with everything you said I love how people rarely pay attention to the meaning like to most people When the witch said that Thrre like *He lost nothing* Nuh uh he lost it all His Sanity,His Thinking and Jacob (IK Jacob's Not dead) And It's realistic that the Sea Best's Have basic designs sureee there big giant Beast's But are still animals (Also Red's a girl Ik you Prob don't care XD)

Crow was the coolest character in my opinion, that scene with the witch felt like something from Shakespeare.

The only problem with sea beast imo is the middle of the plot and it ties in the movie- where the witch came in. THERE WAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL and the animation of the moving tattoos were awesome.

I was not expecting you to drop a video on this amazing movie, but I’m happy you did. I love The Sea Beast.

Red: **throws crab** Crab: LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAINNNNN

Captain Crow reminds me of part of the famous saying. "Careful you wrestle with monsters lest you yourself become one." Or something like that. Iykyk

Honestly I found the theme of ‘living a great life and dying a great death’ really interesting (considering it’s a freaking kid’s movie). Nowhere in HTTYD you’ll see a deconstruction of the cult of the hero and glorification of sacrifice.

PLEASE review Sinbad Legend of the Seven Seas! Not only are the center of the movie about pirates, its also 2d animated and severly underrated

I watched Sea Beast one day on vacation at Long Beach, Washington and late at night, I was watching some Netflix. I passed by this movie while checking out my options and from the surface I thought the movie would either be a fun, but lackluster movie, or a complete clone of Httyd with zero heart. But after watching the whole thing, both of those opinions were devalued completely. I lost those opinions in the first 10 minutes of the movie. The art, the characters, the story, all way better than I honestly thought they would be. It was a genuinely amazing movie, and I'm glad I came past it. Also from recent reports, I heard it's getting a sequel. So I am extremely excited to see that.

Streaming doesn't seem to have the same restrictions which is so nice to see! Happy holidays!

Finally someone mentions about this movie! Because The Sea Beast is actually a really good movie

I'm SO GLAD you talked about this movie. It pleasantly surprised me and quickly became one of my favorites.

You know at first glance at the thumbnail I thought that the red monster was a middle finger for a moment. 😅

I don’t read much philosophy, probs bc 90% of my generation don’t touch books. But ur vids open up so many perspectives that are normally hidden or turned around by media, propaganda, beliefs or social constructs ect. And u do it in a very entertaining way by using movies and an energetic/engaging personality that it lets me enjoy my spare time without making me feel like I’m half studying. TLDR: Love the vids, keep it up❤

I remember stumbling upon this movie on Netflix last year. I watched it, expecting something pretty mediocre or even outright bad, and was pleasantly surprised. I was bummed that no one really talked about it, so I’m glad you did

My favorite part of this video are the 3 and a half minute of intro followed by 2 of sponsorship

oh i'd loooooove to see a video full of recommendations from you! especially animations!

I really did like this movie, very well done movie. My only real complaint is that the ending kind of came out of nowhere, and I feel like it could have had better build up for it. We didn't need the witch part in the movie, it was really weird. It would have been more interesting if Crow had pretended to sympathize with Maisie about the beasts and take advantage of her bond with red, so that he could lure red into a trap. Only at the end would he self reflect and realize his wrong doings. Idk I'm not sure what would have made the ending better, but it just kind of fell flat compared to the rest of the movie

Also the joke, before the eggs hatched. that had me on the floor.

I've never even heard of this movie, but I absolutely love the message. It's something that should resonate with everyone. Definitely going to try to see it.

5:57 "...and the soon to be captain 𝖏𝖆𝖈𝖔𝖇 𝖍𝖔𝖑𝖑𝖆𝖓𝖉"

Ever see that Netflix “Pluto”? It’s astroboy as seen as a murder mystery

I really wanted to like this movie more but too much of it felt like rehashed scenes of Treasure Planet and HTTYD for me to properly get invested, particularly so towards the end. The beginning however is absolutely phenomenal and feels the most well developed (I wish Red had more design motifs taken from historical monsters like the Brickleback got to, though the scene of her descending was perfect)

I love that Sea Shanty 2 from OSRS plays on repeat in the background

I loved this movie on Netflix! I watched it to see if the hype around it was worthy of it at the time.

Wooo a really great video, I loved it!

I watched this movie last year with my boyfriend and we genuinely loved it! It slows down a bit much in the last parts but overall one of the best animated movies in recent time! ✨

That ending made me double check if I was subscribed even though know I am bc I got a notification for this video.

I loved this movie. I've watched it twice - I was always a sucker for HTTYD (books and movies) and it gave me similar vibes. I loved the designs of the sea creatures.

only thing I didn't like was how the main 'monster' (I forget her name) was just kinda bland and had basically no styling

FINALLY someone talks about this movie… criminally unknown and wonderfully done. I want to do a video of it so,time myself agh

For some reason when he said "my dogs are barking" I thought he was going to whip out his feet or something and start barking at the camera

Sea Beast is such a good movie

I recently watched this kovie and really lived it, and was sad it wasn't being talked about more. I think the best thing about the story is that it completely went against my expectations, I even cried a bit at the end. I felt for all the major characters, and by the end I cried. Again, really sad to see such gems of animation not properly advertised, they could be such classics. Lost Ollie is a perfect example of the same thing (a miniseries, a little dark for kids but it had me sobbing by the end, really gorgeous show.)

That SM64 sound bite made me laugh far harder than it should have lmao. 10/10 vid

That one scene when fell in the water and saw red staring at them was terrifying 😳

3:53 I actually felt like Red’s design was smart, as it pulled on actual natural designs of large ocean animals (whales, etc). Especially since the movie feels like it’s riffing on Moby Dick, so the Whale motif works

Your video made me rewatch The Sea Beast, and it's just SUCH a good film! It takes so many risks that Disney (and other studios, for that matter) are just too scared to take.

If you like pirate shows/movies 'Black sails' is a Fantastic recommendation It's a TV Show and it's one of the most fleshed out Pirate world ever shown on TV

I really liked the movie up till the end- I felt the ending fell absolutely flat.

This sounds so good, I am gonna watch now!!

The Sea Beast felt half-baked with its themes but I'd rewatch it over WISH

Man I love sea beast-the animation and message was beautiful

Freaking loved Sea Beast! What a good movie about quest, duty, love and responsibility

Nice to see someone else notice this pleasant surprise of a movie

So many people slept on this film! I am glad that it is being discussed more

speaking of gems on netflix please do a video on blue eye samurai it’s so underrated :)

I really enjoyed sea beast when it came out the ocean scene genuinely scared me 😭

Does your outro song have name/artist? Really love the vibe but Shazam is drawing blanks when I try to find it.

Can you please make a vid on Blue Eye Samurai? More people need to watch it.

I remember when this channel was about magic tutorials 😂

I found Crow really similiar to Dutch Van Der Linde from the Red Dead Redemption franchise

I think it would be interesting to see your take on the Avatar movies

I absolutely love this movie. I first watched it while I was on bed rest after surgery, it was so beautiful. The animation, the story, and especially the characters, like I cried at the end lol

i remember seeing this movie a while ago ! i loved it so much im happy you saw it and enjoyed it :)

Gave the vid a like as soon as I heard that sick Sea Shanty 2 tune

Good to see Sea Beast get some love! It’s a very underrated movie in my opinion with some cool character designs and a very important (I’ll be it on the nose) message. It’s a shame a lot of people dismissed it when it first came out as a HTTYD ripoff.

I’ve watched sea beast a bunch of times. And I LOVE IT! One of my favorite scenes is when, well the “sea beasts” attack each other and the ships. But what not.. That jellyfish scene is nice tho

Hey Bionic, I just found your videos a couple days after Christmas. And the day prior to finding your videos I found a table by the dumpster at my apartment. The same make and model as the art table behind you. It’s in good condition but missing 2 of the plastic holders that snap on the sides and the other 2 are slightly broken. I was wondering if you know what it’s called so I can look it up to find replacements for the trays? I’ve been wanting one of these tables for well over a decade but could never afford it. I got so incredibly lucky spotting it and intend to take very good care of it so it will last me a long time.

when the movie came out i loved it, but every reviewer seemed to dog on it calling plan and boring and a rip off of how to train your dragon.

I have a movie recommendation for you, it’s not animated, but it is dark. And British! It’s called Threads, and it’s a movie about Nuclear Warfare and surviving it. It is absolutely terrifying, and it’s very dark and grim. I think it’s right up your alley.

Watched it, loved it and will now always love it

Red's concept art is super cool, don't know why they didn't keep that design

i honestly adore sea beast. ive watched it like 10 times and its become my comfort movie. 10/10, better than the past 5 disney movies

Omg the human designs are so good as well??

My kid really wanted us to watch this and I wasnt disappointed

Every time i hear anything about hunters i think of this quote from bloodborne "You there, hunter, didn't you see the warning, turn back at once, old yahrnam burned and abandoned by men is now home only to beasts"

It looks like your neon sign is a misspelled “ironicpig” 😂
