“Iu0026#39;m confused at all these early reviews off people who clearly havenu0026#39;t watched the film, speak generically and are just looking to be early reviewers for likes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSky have had a mixed track record with animated films, the awful dragon rider was just awful and when HTTYD is out youu0026#39;d never make a film compatible unless it was good. Then river dance which I though was really great. Thoroughly enjoyed that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis has good and bad parts, some of the voices for the characters wouldu0026#39;ve been better with different actors, the voices were quite unspectacular and lacked character, the script had good and bad parts.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s decently funny but quite predictable, when you see the characters you can see the holes will be used for joke set ups, the rest was often smoke inducing but never hysterical.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStory was ok, nothing special but these films only need to flow.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSky need to step it up if they ever want to catch the quality Disney or studios who make abominable etc, they seem quite amateur considering the money sky has itu0026#39;s sad. Netflix made one called over the moon that was gorgeous, where the colours and display offerings from extinct were just generic and not memorable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYouu0026#39;ll enjoy it but doubt youu0026#39;ll go back to it, there are moments youu0026#39;ll cry and others youu0026#39;ll cringe. Not sure I love deviating from proper animals as I think familiarity helps bond straight away so your always playing catch up creating something new.”
