About This Movie

Calamity is this intriguing blend of adventure and humor set against the backdrop of the American West in 1863. It's not just about a girl learning to drive a wagon, it’s about her rebellion - swapping skirts for pants and cutting her hair. The animation is charming, with a handcrafted feel that brings the wild landscapes to life. The pacing is leisurely, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere but it picks up nicely as dangers loom. Themes of identity and defiance are woven throughout, making it not just a kids' flick but something with depth. The performances, especially in the voice acting, bring the characters to life in a way that feels genuine, grounding this wild journey in authentic emotion.
