In Korea’s surprisingly powerful take on Pixar’s Finding Nemo, a mackerel from the sea
named Flappy ends up caught in a net and dumped carelessly into a restaurant
tank. A pessimistic old flatfish, who has somehow avoided death for ages inside
the tank, becomes her confidant and mentor...even if his means for survival
border on cowardice.
Very quickly, Flappy refuses her fate and becomes determined
to make it out of the tank and back to the ocean – even if that means going
against the old flatfish and shattering the hierarchy of the tank. A feel-good
adventure for the whole family, Padak combines computer animation with traditional hand-drawn art,
delivering a funny, lovable film that’s also packed with social drama and
subtext.
