What happens

Romeo & Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss is a 2006 American animated musical romantic fantasy comedy-drama film loosely following the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. The film is about two star-crossed sea lions, Romeo and Juliet (voiced by Daniel and Patricia Trippet respectively), who fall in love against the wishes of their warring families. It was released in Spain in mid-2006 and on October 27 in the United States. The film was directed, written, and entirely animated by former Disney animator Phil Nibbelink. The film, created on an estimated budget of $2 million, took 4½ years to complete and required 112,000 frames, all drawn by Nibbelink on a Wacom tablet directly into Flash 4 in combination with Moho software. While it received mixed-to-negative ratings, it won an award in Best in Show at the Southwest Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
