The keepers of a cryptozoo, which displays and confines rare beasts and mythical creatures, begin to wonder if the animals would be better off remaining hidden and unknown in this psychedelic animated feature. Winner of the NEXT Innovator Award at Sundance 2021.

A less-funny Adult Swim cartoon that drags on far too long for the little emotional investment it cultivates.

For all this thoughtful plotting and intriguing visuals, this adventure feels flat.

This psychedelic paean to biodiversity and acceptance in a xenophobic world is alternately marvelous and messy.
