About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, colorful, family-friendly adventure with jokes and heart, similar in spirit to Minions: The Rise of Gru or Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius; Not for you if you need high tension or fresh plotting.

Pros: bright, colorful visuals; kid-friendly humor; sweet friendship theme | Cons: predictable alien story; uneven voice work; heavy pop soundtrack
