Arctic Dogs (2019)
6/10
Working at the post office isn't so uncool after all, huh?

Arctic Dogs follows a good story, with simple and child-friendly news, classic plot elements and amiable animal characters that are fun. The polar team is well positioned and with humor and classic joy in tinkering around and experiencing adventure. The warm-hearted polar bear, the funny slapstick Alabatros, the creative beavers, the squeaky mice and of course the two foxes with good hearts have become really very good figures. The classic villain is also funny and well thought out. The puffins are a good comic relief. The whole story is surprisingly tight and fun from start to finish. A masterpiece has not succeeded here because the really big story idea was simply missing. In addition, the animations are not the best, but they are very easy to see. The city looks good and so do the animals. The action at the end was maybe a tad too much, but it was still within limits. All in all a good film that would certainly have been even better drawn. The numerous bad reviews are shockingly weak. First of all, this is not a film about Amazon shipping, but about the post office. Amazon is a mail order company (which incidentally exploits its workers), while the post office is a service to the community. The fact that many people apparently cannot stand a film that is not overflowing with over-the-top humor, but does not forget values, target groups and classic storytelling, is a sign of our time - and not a good one. This film is definitely a great family home evening.
