21. The Sea Beast
Directed by Chris Williams (who co-wrote it with Neil Benjamin), The Sea Beast was released in the middle of the year and is well worth your time if you haven’t seen it already. It’s a fun, breezy adventure story that succeeds thanks to stellar animation and a sense of scale that ensures that the sea beasts themselves feel big, even on the small screen. Netflix had a strong year in terms of animation, particularly towards the end of the year, but The Sea Beast deserves some more love. It’s streaming on Netflix.
