POSITIVES…
The premise itself is enjoyable and entertaining enough. Nice fun idea of a magical gimmick.
A voice cast that includes Danny Devito, Ian Mckellen, Wallace Shawn, Gilbert Gottfried, and more, is a huge positive for this animated film.
I really liked the relationships established in this story, especially the ones involving Owen, with Mackenzie, and Zoe.
The animals. Got to love the animals.
Sylvester Stallone as Bullet-Man.
Thematically a familiar story, but still a welcome revisit in the context of the movie.
NEGATIVES…
A lot of the humor really is just for kids. In fact, a lot of the humor were just much too obvious in a cliche, familiar plot tropes, kind of way. Gotta put up with it Parents!
Final act drags on far longer than it had to. The whole movie drags on far longer than it had to.
Suspend your disbelief as much as you can, because there’s a lot of logical flaws, even in the context of the magical premise.
Relies on plot conveniences way more often than I wished it did.
Patrick Warburton’s character. I get that his character is a typical staple for these kinds of movies, but wow was he extremely hateable and frustratingly annoying.
