Romeo & Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss Trailers

A fully animated feature fantasy about two star crossed seals from warring families that fall in love against their parents' wishes. When Juliet's father gives her hand in marriage to the monstrous elephant seal Prince, Juliet must fake her death in order to be reunited with Romeo. But the plan goes afoul and it's a desperate race to the end. With the help of their friends Friar Lawrence and Kissy, the kissing fish, the day is saved and the young lovers are reunited. Romeo & Juliet: Sealed With a Kiss is the ageless tale of love and prejudice set in an undersea world. A film that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Reviews
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
justaklutz WARNING NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN!!!!!!!!! This movie is absolutely atrocious! The animation is lazy and the characters are poorly crafted at best. I showed this to my high school students and they were uncomfortable with some of the innuendo and awkward moments provided by a demonic floating fish. No one dies, the singing is awful, the prince is rather rape-y, and the animation is sub-par, especially for 2006! Go watch Gnomeo and Juliet if you want a quality adaptation of Shakespeare's work. This "adaptation" if we are giving it that much credit is a stretch of the truth. The Mercutio character is in incredibly poor taste and the thinly veiled racist undertones are uncalled for and rude. As my students said "Let's hop the nope train out of here."
Richard Hung This movie was bad on its own. The singing was horrible. But the fact that they took Shakespeare play and turned it into mush is unacceptable.Everything was different from the original Shakespeare script. For starters, NOBODY died in this movie. Not Romeo, not Juliet, not Mercutio, not Tybalt(who was not even in the film). And Juliet is to marry the prince instead of Paris(who again, is not in this film) I know that its for kids but you are doing Shakespeare so all his plays have tragedy. None of his films have happy endings. This film might have been a bit better if it was a brand new film, but if you say you are going to follow Shakespeare, at least do not change the whole plot and have the guts to pin it on him.
Mightyzebra When people criticize this film, they probably forget that this is a children's film. It is just a very sweet children's film based on "Romeo and Juliet" and the characters are seals (save Friar Lawrence, who is an otter). Kids will not enjoy films where a great deal of characters die and they will not enjoy a live action film about lovers. Even though I'm not a kid, however, I very much enjoyed this film - partly because I remembered that this was made for children. I also enjoyed it because of the way it was made: the plot, the animation and the characters. The songs are also sweet, but forgettable. The way one man made this film pretty much all by himself is worth giving credit for. I imagine that about 95% of the human population could not manage that. You will probably know the story of Romeo and Juliet, there are two feuding families and a boy and a girl, both from the feuding families, fall in love with each other. Well, this film is like that, only with seals.I recommend this to people who do not mind Shakespeare being very much adapted on and to every little kid who likes animated films and seals. Enjoy "Romeo and Juliet: Sealed With a Kiss"! :-)P.S "The Lion King II" is WAY more adapted from "Romeo and Juliet" and no-one criticizes that film because of it.P.P.S Last time I checked (which was when I watched it today), the whole of this film was available on Youtube, so you can watch it on there.
Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) I was shocked and surprised by the negative reviews I saw on the web. I thought this film by Phil Nibbelink (director of An American Tail: Fievel goes West) was very good from the moment I saw the trailer; also I do love seals.I always love the works of William Shakespeare ever since I studied him in my High School English classes. Also I strongly agree with Laura Tiffany of "Home Media Magazine" and Rick Bentley of "Fresno Bee" : it's impressive and a sweet film that should delight the family. Overall, I give this film a big A+ for great backgrounds, excellent color styling and very good music.
