Arlo the Alligator Boy (2021 TV Movie)
6/10
Mediocre storyline saved by interesting characters...
18 April 2021
I sat down to watch the 2021 animated movie "Arlo the Alligator Boy" with my son. And I must admit that I had initially not really expected much from this particular animated movie given the way that the characters looked.

But still, I sat down to watch it, and I must admit that "Arlo the Alligator Boy" was actually a lot better than what I had initially expected. So it turned out that this animated movie from writers Ryan Crego and Clay Senechal was rather enjoyable and had something for viewers of all ages.

What I enjoyed about this 2021 animated movie was actually the character gallery. There are some rather well-detailed, memorable and likeable characters in this story. And it really helped that they certainly had casted a great ensemble of voice actors and actresses for the animated movie. While I can't claim to be familiar with anyone on the cast list, I must say that they definitely put on good voice performances and brought to life the characters quite well.

The art style of the animation here was interesting to say the least. Initially I didn't find it rather appealing or interesting, but as the movie played and I got to know the characters, I must say that the art style came to be rather fitting for the animated movie.

The storyline in "Arlo the Alligator Boy" was adequate. At least my 11 year old son really enjoyed it. I, however, wasn't overly impressed with the storyline. It was just a bit too generic, predictable and lacking more depth to really make it a memorable animated movie.

All in all, "Arlo the Alligator Boy" is certainly a good enough animated movie for the family. My rating of this 2021 animated movie lands on a six out of ten stars.
