As part of Netflix’s feature film spotlight during Geeked Week, the official full trailer for the CG animated family adventure The Sea Beast has risen from the deep to get its teeth into fans! From Academy Award winning filmmaker Chris Williams (Moana, Big Hero 6, Bolt), the movie transports audiences to a mythic era when leviathans of legend lay in wait for seafarers, just beyond the horizon.
The new preview spotlights the film’s plucky heroine, a young wannabe monster hunter who is determined to follow in the footsteps of her idol. We also get to see more of the briny beasts and (depending on personal taste, of course) curiously cute creatures populating this animated world.
Synopsis: In an era when terrifying beasts roamed the seas, monster hunters were celebrated heroes – and none were more beloved than the great Jacob Holland. But when young Maisie Brumble stows away on his fabled ship, he’s saddled with an unexpected ally. Together they embark on an epic journey into uncharted waters and make history.
The voice cast features Karl Urban, Zaris-Angel Hator, Jared Harris, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Dan Stevens and Kathy Burke
Chris Williams directs The Sea Beast as well as writing the screenplay with Nell Benjamin and producing alongside Jed Schlanger; Joyce Arrastia is the movie’s editor; music by Mark Mancina. Sony Pictures Imageworks Vancouver provided the animation and VFX.
The Sea Beast premieres July 8 exclusively on Netflix.
