SA animated film Seal Team makes top 10 most-watched shows on Netflix in 27 countries – TimesLIVE

There are also appearances by Grammy-award winner Seal as the singing seal called Seal Seal, and action legend Dolph Lundgren.

The films co-director Kane Croudace said he resonates with the story and bravery of Quinn on a personal level.

Its about a hero who is brave, stupid and crazy enough to want to do the dangerously impossible. Thats a theme that resonates throughout my working career. Right at the beginning of my time with Triggerfish, we wanted to make a feature film at the bottom of Africa with a totally inexperienced crew, which everyone said was impossible.

Croudace said the film went ahead despite the naysayers and very slim chances of them concluding the project.

We did it anyway. If anyone working at a proper studio had seen our workflows on Adventures In Zambezia, they would have given 150/1 odds against us finishing it. But shielded by our stupidity and bravado, we managed to do it and weve got better with each subsequent project. I think Quinns attitude to the task ahead is mirrored in our tenacity in getting these films made, said Croudace.

The Triggerfish productions Adventures in Zambezia and Khumba sold nine million cinema tickets globally and placed them in the five biggest box office hits from Africa.

Other productions by the company include animating the Oscar-nominated Roald Dahl adaptation Revolting Rhymes as well as four Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler adaptations, including the 2021 Annie Award winner The Snail and the Whale and the 2020 International Emmy-winning Zog, all originally produced by London-based production company Magic Light Pictures.
