A pleasant surprise
I expected Katak to be your general CGI kids film. But this movie does everything in its power to prove my initial assement wrong.
True, it's CGI... and uses it to create photorealistic scenic shots. The character designs are a bit rough, but they're charming in their own way.
True, it has a child protagonist (with the same neotenic afflication as Mumble in Happy Feet even)... and it has genuinely dark themes like miscarriage and suicide. It perfectly illustrates the suffering whales go throw because of human technology and invasion of their natural habitats.
This movie is nothing short of a hidden gem. A strong recommendation.
