Good but perhaps a little too realistic

Rating: 6/10 (7 August 2019)

The movie definitely succeeded in bringing the feelings of nostalgia and the voice actors did well. However, the hyper-realistic cgi didn't allow for the full emotions to show through. We lost a lot of the feelings by not being able to see the more human-like expressions you could relate to in the cartoons like furrowed eyebrows or teary eyes or big smiles etc. Instead it was kind of like those instagram videos where people do voice overs for animals in funny situations except with super HD national geographic type visuals. I think they could've gone for realism but held back some in the faces of the animals to allow for some of that emotion to still show through.
I wouldn't buy it or necessarily choose to see it again but I enjoyed it for what it was in the moment.
