Bait

About This Movie

So, 'Bait' (2007) is this curious little animated flick that really plays with atmosphere. It’s about a boy and a fish caught up in this tense situation with seals looming around. The pacing has this odd rhythm, shifting between light-hearted moments and some genuinely suspenseful scenes. The visuals are charming, but not overly polished, giving it a unique character. There's a certain whimsy in how it presents danger and survival without getting too dark. The practical effects—though limited—add a tangible feel, which is kind of refreshing. The voice performances are decent, capturing the essence of childhood curiosity and fear, but it’s the overall tone that stays with you. It’s not your typical animation, and that's pretty distinctive.
