Barbeque

About This Movie

Barbeque (2017) blends animation with an intriguing exploration of mermaid mythology. It’s got this unique tone, oscillating between whimsy and a deeper, almost philosophical inquiry into the lines separating human and creature. The animation style is playful, yet there's an undercurrent of seriousness that makes you think about identity and parenthood in a new light. Pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but that just adds to the charm. One of the distinctive aspects is how it tackles themes that usually get glossed over in more mainstream works. The character designs are striking, and the voice performances bring a warmth that complements the visual style. It’s definitely a curious piece in the animation landscape of its time.
