Powell Peralta: The Search for Animal Chin

About This Movie

So, 'The Search for Animal Chin' is like this laid-back, stony ride through the skate scene of the late 80s. You’ve got the Bones Brigade, a crew that’s as much about personality as they are about skating. The whole vibe is super chill, with them roaming from one killer spot to another, mixing in some gnarly ramps and fun antics. There’s this thread of searching for this mythical figure, Animal Chin, which gives it a loose narrative that makes you feel like you’re part of their journey, just soaking up the sun and the skate culture. You get those authentic skate moments, and the film captures the spirit of that time perfectly. It’s a snapshot of a community that was all about freedom, exploration, and pushing the limits.
