About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, brightly animated video-game adaptation packed with recognizable moments and lots of kid-friendly fun; Not for you if you expect deeper storytelling or broad laughs—try something like Shrek Forever After or Luca instead.

Pros: colorful, playful world; fan references; energetic action | Cons: thin plot depth; mixed comedy; characters feel flat
