Was cooking for my son and it was playing in the background.
I tell him it's for girls and let's watch something else.
I sit down and was hooked.
Afterwards he proceeds to clowns me and goes, "Thought it was for girls."
Between this and the Wild Robot, it's hard to think Disney can compete with this level of storytelling.

It's 6/7 story wise. I don't like that it's only focus on just 2 characters.
Art style and animation are good though.
Love the tiger design! So cute!

My kids watched this 3x already. Guess I'll have to give it a shot.

I haven't seen it yet, but it seems to be popping off on the interwebs. It's crazy this comes out the same week Elio flops in theaters. Disney needs to clean house if Sony Animation, Dreamworks, and Illumination keeps running circles around them.

Peak design. If they don't make a plush out of this its a wasted merch opportunity. I would buy that so fast.

This. Flop after flop.
Disney seems to be stuck since bececoming overly reliant on Pixar.
And somehow despite owning the greatest catalog of IP their capacity for quality output seems to have been greatly diminished.

You can own it all, but if you don't know what your consumers want from it, then it doesn't matter. They are still delusion at Disney.

Was giving me Cat Bus vibes.
Design was top notch.

Top hat bird >>> tiger
I'm talking about the tiger though xD
It's pretty damned good, but F this jerky low frame rate style they have been pushing ever since Spiderverse and Dragon Prince. Is it really a massive cost savings to only animate every other frame or whatever they are doing? I get it with hand drawn stuff (though I prefer other cost saving measures) but even CG?
I figure AI interpolation will squash it in a few years but its a plague.
I need to go watch some OG GitS, Fleischer Superman, and Liquid Television shorts to reset

no, it's an animation direction choice.

I didn't make it past a few minutes, the music was like nails on a blackboard.

Yes, then there is not much sense. There's a lot of singing.

Average.
Looks good, but uses the low framerate look that is love it or hate it now. I'm kinda done with that style.
Story is basically Frozen/lies revealed and just as simple. Any moment was expecting Rumi to just belt out a true solo.
Pretty swift hate you-love you moment and then redemption. Hmmm, ok.
Songs honestly weren't that good, but I also don't think most modern KPop is any good. Way too much auto tune going on, it's quite distracting.
Overall, one of those average CG movies that can be watched if you're out of things to watch, but it has a nice visual appeal (even with the low framerate).
Also, I hope this wasn't taking time from Part 3 of Spidey.... probably not, but would be disappointed if it did!

Really enjoyed this. The story is straightforward but well-told, well-paced and self-contained, with the world-building which exists relating entirely to what is needed by the narrative. The characters aren't deep but their personalities come through clearly enough even if they don't stray far from their archetypes (conflicted protagonist, aloof punk, enthusiastic girly girl, tortured antagonist/love interest, etc). The music was catchy and integrated well with the plot, I was a bit mixed on the visual style but there were still a lot of fun details and sight gags. I'm also a sucker for an ending where rather than a last minute struggle against the odds, the heroes become powerful enough to lay waste to the villains and the film focuses more on the exhilaration of triumph than high tension. That only works if the audience has established a strong enough connection to the protagonists, as well as plenty of spectacle to emphasize the scale of their success, and the film nails it in every respect (the final song is the best one for my money). Yes, it can feel like a corporate checklist of 'what are the kids into these days?' (kpop, female empowerment, animation style, etc.) but it's always welcome to have a film which does what it wants to do to a high standard across the board and doesn't waste time trying to set up sequels or be 'bigger' or 'cleverer' than it needs to be. An entertaining movie with good music and an efficiently-told story is more than enough to be an easy recommend from me.
