Kevin is a flying fish who dreams of one day
traveling to Barbados to compete in the world championship seaweed ball hitting
contest. If you can let your imagination roam far enough to wrap itself around that as a
plot, you are about to have a great time watching this animated feature from
director Thom Lu. Although at the start it seems to echo a lot of other
underwater animated adventures, like A Shark’s Tale and Finding Nemo, Back to
the Sea eventually finds its own voice to tell the story of a unique
relationship between a fish and the young boy he befriends after Kevin is caught
and taken to a tank in a Chinese restaurant. The voice talent is a mixed bag,
from the fine work of Yuri Lowenthal as Kevin to the stunt casting of Tim Curry
and Christian Slater in small supporting roles. The art, though, is impressive.
