Sunken Submarine

About This Movie

So, 'Sunken Submarine' is the fourth in that quirky Deadly Scent series. It dives right into this undersea escapade, where Zea and Lucius are up against the shady Dr. Goad. The animation is charmingly offbeat, a bit less polished than what you'd see from bigger studios but somehow that adds to its character. You can really feel the tension in the pacing; it builds nicely, drawing you into the watery depths of their adventure. Themes of teamwork and resilience come through, especially in how they navigate both the ocean and Goad's dastardly traps. Plus, the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain tactile charm that enhances the overall atmosphere of the film.

This film has a certain niche appeal among collectors, as it's part of an underappreciated series. Availability is limited, with few prints floating around, especially in good condition. Collectors often seek out these lesser-known titles for their unique charm and historical context within animated adventures of the early '70s.
