A great showing of hyper realistic animation, but other than that not my favorite movie.

Rating: 4/10 (30 July 2019)

Well, I will admit, I have never been a very big fan of the original. I haven't really seen it enough to judge compared to this though. It is not one of my favorite movies at all though. There are very few pre-1995 Disney movies I like. That is weird considering I am a sucker for animated movies. But I will just say this was okay. But that doesn't mean it wasn't nothing but a cash grab from Disney. The same goes with pretty much all their "live action" remakes. I prefer the original more personally because I like to see 2D movies, the visuals are kinda distracting from the story, the characters don't have much emotion, and it just seems more original. This just felt like nothing but a cash grab from Disney. I only saw this because my little brother decided last minute he wanted to see this over Spider Man and I kinda wanted to see how silly everything looked. I don't like giving money to Disney for this stuff but I still do sometimes. I did see Toy Story 4 but at least that was a good movie I was fully satisfied with. Plus the story is at least original for the most part. I have missed most of the live action remakes though. Their originals don't interest me so I don't have a desire. As I said, I am not a big fan of old Disney stuff. Nor do I support the monopoly they're trying to make. 3 of the stars I gave come from the technically impressive animation and the other comes from the joke it was to see this movie so realistic. I was laughing just looking at the realistic characters interacting more like in a cartoon. The animation, while very good, is kinda distracting and doesn't really fit the style of this movie. The story judging half blind is okay. I thought the first half was very boring but the second half was decent.
