A blast from the blast. It will defiantly make you remember your childhood. 7.5/10.

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2019)

This movie is NOT a 1. It was a great CGI based movie that really entailed everything the first movie had to offer. I thought they did a great job of the singing and the comedy of the movie.
Do I think it could of been better? Most defiantly. I thought the CGI was very lazy at times, and almost rushed. I would of easily rated this a 9 if it wasn't for that. At times you will notice the different animals have little to no mouth movement while they are talking. One scene in particular where they talked for about 30 seconds and I didn't see the mouths move once. Just a little odd from such a high budget film... but like I said it shouldn't be docking the movie 5+ points simply because of that.
The movie portrayed everything the first version had to offer... and they did it incredibly well. You will find yourself laughing a good bit at times by numerous scenes, tearing up from particular memories from you childhood, and overall just a overall pleasant experience.
This movie was beautiful, and it deserves a decent rating. Not a bunch of 1 star reviews out of hate. I am not going to sit here and say it deserves a 8,9, or above. But defiantly in the high 7's. At times it felt rushed (as mentioned above) and lack-luster. The emotions didn't portray fully as the first movie. But that is VERY difficult to do from CGI... but with the budget they had, it should of been better in that aspect.
All positive / negativity aside. A truly beautiful movie that you should DEFIANTLY see. Especially if you have kids, and even if you don't... ha!
