With heavy influences from Studio Ghibli’s _Spirited Away_ and _Howl’s Moving Castle_, _Deep Sea_ is the best animated film of the year that most won’t see or even know about. Its extraordinary animation sets it apart from everything else out there because it feels like a brilliant, one-of-a-kind plunge into pure imaginative whimsy. **Full review:** https://bit.ly/hyjinx
