With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone who's ever talked to their pet and animation lovers. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 11 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
This story is based on an ancient northern legend according to which the souls of the drowned people turn into sea animals. The Hunter steals a seal-girl’s skin, so she can’t turn back into an animal. She becomes his wife, but often she glances at the sea.
