About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bright, silly adventure with eye-catching visuals and familiar characters, similar to Trolls World Tour; Not for you if you’re sensitive to continuity changes, heavy tie-ins, or lots of celebrity cameos.
Pros: gorgeous animation; funny buddy banter; lots of callbacks | Cons: retreads earlier movie; forced spin-off tie-ins; forgettable writing
