Tony Hale's 'Sketch': Is This the Next Big Family Adventure Film?
Get ready for a heartwarming and thrilling family adventure! Tony Hale stars in 'Sketch,' a film that's drawing comparisons to classic Amblin Entertainment movies like 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids' and 'Jumanji.' But 'Sketch' offers more than just nostalgia; it delves into the complexities of grief and healing with a unique blend of humor, tenderness, and imagination.
A Story of Grief and Imagination
'Sketch' tells the story of Taylor (Tony Hale), a widower, and his two children, Amber (Bianca Belle) and Jack. Amber copes with the loss of her mother by drawing increasingly fantastical and sometimes violent monsters. These aren't just ordinary drawings; they're brought to life when Amber's notebook falls into a magical pond behind their house.
Suddenly, the town is overrun with Amber's creations: Dave, a giant blue monster with snake legs and googly eyes; red spiders called "eyeders" that steal everything they can; and a dark, hooded being that seems to create even more chaos. Jack, initially focused on fixing everything for his sister, must confront his own grief as they work together to manage the monster mayhem.
A Spielberg-esque Experience
Writer-director Seth Worley masterfully balances wonder, terror, and humor in 'Sketch.' The film uses suspenseful techniques to create a menacing mood, transitioning seamlessly from character drama to action-packed fantasy. The meticulous animation of Amber's creatures adds to the film's charm and visual appeal.
