Big Fish & Begonia

About This Movie

Big Fish & Begonia is quite an enchanting piece. It beautifully weaves the strands of fantasy and adventure, creating a world beneath the waves that feels both vibrant and hauntingly melancholic. Chun's transformation into a dolphin is visually stunning, with fluid animation that captures the essence of her journey. The pacing allows for moments of reflection amidst the action, making you ponder the themes of sacrifice and the connection between worlds. The use of practical effects adds a tactile depth to the water-based environments, amplifying the immersion. It’s got this dreamlike quality that lingers long after the credits roll, and the emotional weight really hits home. Definitely something that stays with you, in a way that few animated films achieve.
