Seafari

About This Movie

Seafari is an interesting piece from the mid-'90s animation scene, though it seems to have faded into obscurity. The premise—searching for a sister ship—is a classic setup, but it’s the way Sammy the Dolphin guides our mini-submarine that gives it a certain charm. The pacing is a bit erratic, swinging from moments of tension to more light-hearted ones with a sea monster chasing them. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain hand-crafted quality that’s nostalgic. The voice performances, especially for Sammy, bring an endearing quality that holds the narrative together. There's a kind of playful danger throughout that might remind viewers of other underwater adventures from that era, but with its unique tone, it carves its own niche.
