Fantastical creatures come to life when a young girl's sketchbook falls into a strange pond. As the town starts to unravel, she and her brother try to track down the unpredictable, chaotic and real monsters before they cause permanent damage. Racing against time to find them, their father must navigate a community in crisis to reunite his family and stop the disaster they never meant to unleash.

At the heart of many of the Disney animated classics and kids films of the 80’s and 90’s is grief and loss during childhood. From The Lion King to The Hunchback of Notre Dame and A Little Princess and My Girl, millennials growing up were subjected to some fairly grown up fare. But what made it wonderfully healing is that it treated the children as equals, allowing for their grief to be validated and expressed. 

​

Sketch is the kind of kids film that does the same. Crafted like one of those classics above, it tackles childhood grief through the power of fantastical imagination. The creatures that are crafted here are wonderfully rendered and the dynamic between brother and sister wonderfully balanced. But at its heart, Sketch is the kind of film that brings healing to its audience no matter their age.

A wonderfully callback to the classic children’s films of the 80’s and 90’s, Sketch is an ode to the healing power of art and that it’s never too late to face your pain.
