So just watched the movie on Disney plus, so I will list my pros if the movie and the cons. I mean if you have Disney plus it doesn’t actively hurt to watch it if you are bored
Spoilers of course
Pros:
.We don’t talk about Bruno slapped, love it so much
.Liked another one of the songs
.Amazing animation, that’s pretty obvious
.Most characters are pretty solid but many underdeveloped
.Has some really creative animation and concepts
.I feel really sad for the protagonists and feel what she is feeling, she’s easy to relate too
Cons:I feel this movie lacks both the time it needs to tell the story they want and I gotta admit the fact we stay in the house the whole movie is really boring
.rest of the songs are lackluster and don’t see myself listening to them again
.the fact on why the main character didn’t get a door is so confusing, I get the message that she will be the head of the family like grandma but she still counts as getting a gift and a room.
.there is a lot of pacing issues
.the trailer was so misleading oml, made it look like a family themed adventure like something of coco or book of life
Overall not painful to sit through but found myself wanting to skip over so much of it. I think if it was about the main character not getting a gift and her leaving on her own as she feels unwanted and better to leave. But before she does she discovered magic is fading so sets off the find a way to save the magic. could show off some of the beautiful culture and geography of Columbia better as well. The fact that it takes place in one locating is boring. Then the family(most likely cousins and sisters) would go after her to help. Idk I’m not super great at story writing but just my idea. Thanks for reading through my rant lol
