Editor’s note: Our short take on Craig Before the Creek (2023): A confident blend of Animation, Family, TV Movie, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, focused more on tone than spectacle. With Matt Burnett at the helm, the film feels purposeful and well-paced. Performances (especially Philip Solomon, Noël Wells, H Michael Croner) give the story human stakes. At 1h 28m, it moves with a measured pace and rarely overstays a scene. Solid if imperfect—its strengths outweigh a few rough edges. The marketing line “Before he made friends he found adventure.” isn’t just flair; it’s fairly accurate. Worth a watch for the craft alone, even beyond the genre appeal.
