S.P.L.A.S.H.

About This Movie

S.P.L.A.S.H. is one of those quirky animated gems from the early 80s that really digs into the complexities of water usage. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged as it follows The Chief and his brigade of droplets. You get this interesting mix of whimsy and seriousness, as it tackles some pretty heavy themes about our waterways—like the impact of agriculture and industry. The animation style has that hand-crafted feel that’s kind of refreshing, especially with the practical effects they employed. The narrative flows like water itself, carrying you from rainfall to riverbank without skipping a beat. It’s definitely not your standard fare and stands out for its unique approach to an environmental topic, making it feel a bit ahead of its time.
