I know I'm in the minority here, but I just don't like this movie. The first time I watched it, it just annoyed me but I thought I'd give it a second chance, try and see what people love here. Still don't see it.
On the upside, the animation is pretty. The voice acting is solid. There are even one or two moments of laughter.
That's it though. The rest of this movie still falls apart to me. It feels too predictable and by the numbers. There's a message about equality which is nice but there's no subtlety to it, instead it gets hammered over your head again and again and again. There's no surprise here and I never feel invested in the characters or world. It's fun but not real deep.
Maybe the most annoying thing to me is that I want to like this world and these characters and I just don't. It feels too much like Disney trying to jump on the equality bandwagon which, to me, ends up feeling empty, hollow and fake.
Again, I know I'm the minority here and would still absolutely encourage people to check it out and form their own opinions.
