The Sea Beast (PG): Inevitable Blustering on the High Seas.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “The Sea Beast” (2022). The last gap in my Oscars “Animated Feature” category, “The Sea Beast” (available on Netflix) is a little hidden gem of a movie.

It’s about a bear. And about cocaine. It’s about a bear that’s taken cocaine! Bob the Movie Man Rating: Plot Summary: … Read more
