I didn’t know that the American Christian movie industry had the resources, time or know-how to make a knockoff of Finding Nemo. I guess it makes sense considering it’s the religion of choice of the settler population there and is used as a cudgel to enforce “American values” or whatever.

    Me and my gf actually skipped around and watched about 20m of this a few weeks ago. It was truly horrifying. Christofascism unfiltered.

    You can tell the main voice actor guy (he plays 3 characters, including an incredibly outdated, cringey, lazy, terrible Japanese racist caricature as “Mr. Sushi”) is a major pedo, hateful man who genuinely hates kids. The entire film is full of kids acting very unchildlike: extremely chipper and self-flagellating and fawningly obedient, meanwhile getting severe contempt for the mildest of crimes (e.g. playing when they were supposed to be studying) using the most subtly demeaning and draconian language with an entire nauseating sugar bowl capsized over it.

    The production value is also so laughably bad that it is almost insulting. They use the same single gif in the exact same pose for every character, they have 1 talking gif that they don’t even care about matching the words to, they take beautiful settings like coral reefs and somehow make them dull and lifeless in an uncanny and honestly hellish way. It is hellishly uncomfortable.

    We definitely had a nice conversation piece and a good laugh out of it, but it was disturbing knowing that in some Baptist church somewhere nearby there might be a group of particularly susceptible young children being forced to watch this during Sunday school. It was so painfully un-entertaining in the eyes of a child that I can only imagine them either hating it and getting punished, or crimestopping themselves and brainwashing themselves into thinking they like it.

    This is truly an abomination, a gem of pure evil, a case study into the fascist mind. I recommend skipping around for 20 minutes for comrades who like media analysis.

      Check out Pureflix, it’s Netflix but for Christian movies and shows.

      It’s from Wownow entertainment. Ask Saberspark why I hate them.
