PROS: The stop motion animators heavily carried this film, they deserve 5 stars alone! Along with the character designers! The overall style, colour and moods where brilliant! However, I think they focused/budgeted too much on that fact.. CONS: What is going on with the editing? Times in the audio it felt poorly cut with transitions, slow-mo scenes could've been worked on a little more or different techniques used. The sound department was okay, but could've been improved for example; adding more bass especially for Buffalo Belzer cause he felt more so 'underwhelming'. Soundtrack was alright, but some felt out of place or not on theme. The pacing was all over the place, especially everything at the end feeling rushed. There were way too many characters to focus on, the voice acting most characters felt dull and not as animated. Plot holes, I wanted to know more about Sister Helleys and Manbergs backstorys. Either making this more into a series or cutting characters could've resolved this. For the movie to be called Wendell & Wild, it wasn't really centred around them. They felt more like comedic relief characters, either changing the title or providing more of a backstory to them could've benefitted the film.

PROS: Honestly was surprised how good this movie was! Voice acting was fitting for each character and the animation team truly carried this film!! The meaning/message behind it was cliché but wholesome Laughed a few times, I liked how it wasn't a serious film and apricated the humour plus the memes! It's tricky making a music industry related film, but they did great in my opinion even the songs! Loved the unique take of Brittany Howard (Thelma's) voice which truly makes this film a breath of fresh air! They tackled controversial subjects like AI which was funny and interesting, something the universal art related industry would understand CONS: Some things were a little controversial for other people I've seen a theme with other reviewers, it was strange when the guy got horse arms transplants and sewn on horn. But I believe this was a meme in itself, fans really do take things too far to look like their fav celebs. The LGBTQ+ reference of the 2 lesbian mums which was honestly subtle, it was not in your face at all. I find funny how people are accepting of straight relationships kissing on screen rather then just 2 lesbians existing in animation quite hypercritical. I was more uncomfortable with the pool guys honestly but it was intentional, even the assistant was cringing. Have a laugh all in good joke!
