Running Sushi

About This Movie

Running Sushi is a quirky little gem from 2017 that dives into the oddly captivating world of elite sushi athletes. It’s got this offbeat charm, blending animation with a unique sports theme. The hurdles in this case are not your typical barriers but rather soya sauce pools and chopsticks, which lends a certain whimsy to the whole experience. The pacing feels just right, keeping you engaged without overstaying its welcome. The characters, despite being animated sushi pieces, have a surprising depth, and the camaraderie among them adds a nice layer. The practical effects used in the animation are quite clever; you can almost feel the tension in the stadium. It’s distinct, that's for sure, and worth a look for anyone into unconventional animated films.
