Why is this popular?

Rating: 5/10 (6 May 2018)

I am genuinely confused as to why this movie is so highly praised. All it has going of it is nice animation and a story focusing on The Day Of The Dead. Take that away and what do you have?
-A boring, cliched, predictable, formulaic, unoriginal story.
-A terrible script.
-Some overused and forgettable songs.
-Some of the most boring and cringeworthy scenes that I've ever seen.
-Cliched characters.
-Some of the worst tropes you could possibly put into your movie unless you are planning on making it comedic (South Park did the "villain rants on about plan onstage and they think only the protagonists hear them but a protagonist turns on a microphone so that everyone can hear them" in S13 E1 "The Ring" back in 2009 and it was way more entertaining and nowhere near as cringeworthy as its done in this movie's painfully boring finale). I'm just using this scene as an example. Honestly EVERYTHING in this movie has been done better by something else before. It is painfully bland and unoriginal.
This movie is so cliched and predictable and boring and uninspired and stupid that I can't recommend it. What child would stay awake during the runtime? What adult wouldn't get bored ten minutes in? I only watched it due to all the praise it got, and spent the whole runtime wondering where it was coming from.
If this movie was more focused on The Day Of The Dead, and everyone's motives made more sense, then this movie would've been much better. The whole family hating music because of a musician leaving is a bit ridiculous, even though the movie tries to present it seriously. There is barely any tension because every time a character is in "danger" you know there is going to be some kind of ex machina that's going to show up and save them.
Overall I wouldn't recommend this movie unless you want to take a nap.
