    There aren’t many kids’ movies that could be described as a “mood piece,” but this is one. The gentle lull of the water lapping all around is evocative of others in the oceanic canon – Moana, Finding Dory – but it’s much lower-key. The Red Turtle is in simple watercolor style 2D animation. Even the storm that wrecks our Robinson Crusoe’s ship is like something from a dream wrought at the end of a paintbrush.
