The Sea Beast is an epic Netflix adventure film which tells the story of Jacob Holland, a legendary sea monster hunter whose life is turned upside down when a young girl, Maisie Brumble, stows away on his ship and finds an unlikely friend in a terrifying sea monster.
This animated sea escapade, which is now available to stream, is directed by Chris Williams, who has worked on the likes of Moana, Big Hero 6 and Bolt.
