StarDog and TurboCat (2019)
Artificial ratings from bots, cliche, and boring.
This film is full of cliches and recycled ideas. The animation is decent, but plot and music lack inspiration or meaning. I had average expectations going in, with the imdb showing a rating of 7.1 out of 10. About 2 minutes in, I could not figure out how it got a rating that high. It showed 894 star ratings averaging 7.1. Out of the 8 written reviews, at least 3 are 10 stars and written by bots! This should have never made it to redbox! My 5 year old liked it, but I repeatedly resisted the urge to turn it off. The funnest thing about this show was commenting with my teenagers on the painfully lackluster storyline, the voluminous cliches and borrowed tropes, and the inconsistent and random background music. I think a fairer rating would actually be 2 to 3 out of 10 stars, because I've seen worse, but I gave it one star to bring the artificial high lower.
