Long and boring

Rating: 5/10 (28 April 2018)

On the up side, the technical level of the animation is outstanding, and I suppose the tear-jerker ending is OK. But, IMHO, the down sides far outweigh the positives. The movie is incredibly long with one pointless scene after another, apparently designed to show off some flashy animation. And, when you cut thru all of that flashy animation, the story itself is actually pretty lame.
I'd wager that the vast majority of the high reviews for this film are from kids who don't care that the story is trite in the extreme, and people who have some sense of cultural pride in seeing a movie set in Mexico that doesn't involve Clint Eastwood blasting a bunch of Mexican bad guys. If you are not in either of those groups, I suspect you'll be left scratching your head over the astronomically high rating of this long and boring movie.
