Under the Boardwalk is a 2023 American animated musical comedy film directed by David Soren, who co-wrote the screenplay with Lorene Scafaria.

Armen, a timid land crab, is reluctant to go out and socialize due to how his parents died in a storm when he was a child and his rotting shell, inhabited by a fun-loving organism named Anemone, is the only reminder of them.

However, three muscular crabs and Armen's friends, Bobby, Manny and Jimmy, drag him to a club owned by his uncle Bruno.

Ramona intervenes, but she and Armen get swept away in a high tide that ruins the land crab civilization.

On their journey, they each share their insecurities, Armen for being too frightened to do anything besides stay in his shell and Ramona from wanting to get away from her overbearing mother Val, who expects perfection from her.

In June 2019, the film was announced under the name of Jersey Crabs, as part of Paramount Animation's upcoming slate, with Lorene Scafaria writing the screenplay and David Dobkin producing.

[17] Calum Baker of the Radio Times wrote, "There's nothing surprising about this bright, loud musical adventure, with its themes of social acceptance and being true to oneself.

But the tunes aren't too bad, there are some fine gags and the animators have inventive fun with their crustacean designs".
