"The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello is a wonderful throwback to King Kong-era adventure/horror flicks done in a super-clean modern digital milieu. In 27 minutes this three-act tale of terror on the high, high seas has more than enough spectacle, plot twists and character nuance to support a feature." ? World Animation Magazine
