Get ready for a summer of laughter and enchantment! Sketch, the heartwarming family fantasy film hitting theaters this Wednesday, is already generating buzz, and for good reason. We recently sat down with stars Tony Hale (known for his iconic role in Arrested Development) and D'Arcy Carden (a scene-stealer in Barry), alongside writer/director Seth Worley and the delightful young cast, to discuss bringing this charming story to life.

Sketch follows a family who discovers a magical sketchbook that brings their drawings to life. What starts as innocent fun quickly spirals into hilarious chaos as their creations run amok. But beneath the comedic antics lies a touching story about family, imagination, and embracing the unexpected.

Tony Hale: Finding the Heart in the Humor

Tony Hale, who plays the endearing but slightly frazzled father, revealed how much of his own personality shines through in the role. “It’s funny because Seth [Worley] and I talked a lot about finding the humanity within the absurdity,” Hale explained. “There’s a vulnerability to this dad character, a desire to connect with his kids, and I really leaned into that. I think audiences will see a lot of themselves in him, the juggling act of parenthood, the wanting to do everything right.” Hale’s portrayal is instantly relatable, showcasing a warmth and sincerity that elevates the comedic moments.

D'Arcy Carden: Embracing the Eccentricity

D'Arcy Carden, known for her incredible range and comedic timing, embodies the quirky and supportive mother. “I loved the freedom Seth gave me to explore the character’s eccentricities,” Carden shared. “She’s a little bit out there, but she’s also the glue that holds the family together. It was a blast to play someone so delightfully different.” Carden’s energy is infectious, adding a layer of playful chaos to the already vibrant family dynamic.

Seth Worley: The Vision Behind the Sketch

Writer and director Seth Worley spoke about the inspiration behind Sketch. “I wanted to create a film that celebrates the power of imagination and the importance of family,” Worley said. “Kids have this incredible ability to see the world in a magical way, and I wanted to capture that. It's about reminding adults to reconnect with that childlike wonder and to appreciate the simple joys of life.” Worley’s vision is evident in every frame, creating a visually stunning and emotionally resonant experience.

A Film for the Whole Family

Sketch promises to be a delightful escape for audiences of all ages. With its clever humor, heartwarming story, and stellar performances from Tony Hale, D'Arcy Carden, and the entire cast, it's a film that will leave you smiling long after the credits roll. Don't miss the chance to experience the magic – Sketch arrives in theaters this Wednesday!
