Caught a Fish!

About This Movie

Caught a Fish! is an interesting piece, blending animation with a whimsical retelling of Tolstoy’s fairy tale. The animation style is a bit rough around the edges, which gives it a unique charm, almost like a lost gem from the early '80s. The pacing can feel a tad uneven, but that adds to its quirky appeal. The themes of hope and resilience come through, with a slightly dark undertone, reflecting the original story's essence. Practical effects are minimal, yet somehow they enhance the hand-drawn feel. You can tell the creators really wanted to convey a sense of wonder, even if it doesn’t always hit the mark. The voice performances, though not widely recognized, bring a warm sincerity to the characters.
