Emotionally-creative

Rating: Null/10 (21 June 2015)

This was a joy to watch. The emotion is definitely there, mostly because it comes in a way that all of us can really relate to, in terms of specific scenarios that we are seeing play out on the screen and remembering when they happened in our own lives. This was a good film... but just one day later, and I'm liking it less and less. I think the overall theme and the beginning and ending is fantastic. But I think its second act proves to be really problematic. The film starts to have things happen for the sake of entertainment and humor, without really having a purpose to the overall storyline. This happens with all children's films, but for some reason it was more noticeable here. Some of the humor was kind of childish in a way that's more immature than anything. I liked it a lot, but I wish it had less pandering to its younger audience
