Rushed and cheap

Rating: 5/10 (15 July 2018)

Can't believe that something that took 14 years to release felt so rushed and cheap. So disappointed. I know they tried to update the animation with the advances in technology but in doing so they made it feel cheap. It was like watching an episode of Paw Patrol.
The original is one of my favourite movies, animated and otherwise. Great story and decent animation that actually holds up incredibly well.
The story was ok in parts with some decent gags but that was about it. It felt like a mass produced TV series on Cartoon Network, not a Pixar event movie.
My kids thought it was good. I think they laughed at the bits Brad wanted them to. I think most of the problem is that it is aimed squarely at young kids. Not at all ages like many other Pixar classics.
They left the door open for sequel after sequel. Clearly going to follow the money. This felt like the 5th sequel after they licensed some other studio to carry on with it when they couldn't be bothered with it anymore.
