It was sweet, sincere, and moving. Visually stunning, sad, and heartwarming. Our family loved it.

Extremely rushed with 0 character development. Horrible, truly laughable lines. A backstory that for the most part is unsupported by the books. Misuse of what seemed to be a good cast.

Haters gonna hate. My kids (8 and 10) loved the movie, and as magic school bus lovers, we all kinda got the concept of the “Strange World” right away. But that didn’t detract from the movie. It was still visually and conceptually cool and we had fun trying to guess the “purpose” of all the creatures. My husband and I had quite a few laughs during a card playing scene. The grandpa, father, and son dynamic was very representative of the generational differences in our own families. The story IS a bit messy, and I did feel like that about Encanto too. But it’s for kids and families so who cares? Why do adults need to dissect kid movies like we expect them all to be masterpieces? Again, my kids loved it. So it was worth it. And ANYONE who hates on this movie for having a gay male character who simply smiles at his crush and nothing more needs to calm the eff down and just go live in a cave somewhere where they can be happy completely detached from reality. Wanna talk inappropriate? Ariel giving up her voice at 16 for some dude because she thinks he is hot is inappropriate. Belle falling in love with her captor is inappropriate. Those things should make you feel more uncomfortable. PG13 rating my a. There are gay kids out there who deserve to be represented. My kids squealed for the character just like they would a straight one. Let some compassion into your heart.

I can't image a worse ending for a show that was seriously so good. And it wasn't just the last 5 min that did me in (and they are a ridiculous 5 min). But the whole thing didn't do any of the characters justice. Wish I could unwatch it.

One of the things I think this show gets perfectly is pacing, I was never bored, but also was never overwhelmed. From start to finish the show is, I think, brilliantly timed. I get annoyed when shows wait too kong to tell a backstory, or string along character developments for forever. I originally scoffed when I saw the trailers for the show...but it is really very good. Probably one of my favorite shows out there at the moment.

A much needed laugh at our situation.

Never been so disappointed by an ending. Wow, what a shame bc it was a fun cast. Episodes 1-4 cheesy but good. 5 & 6....it was like they just gave up.

I wish that as these movies are recreated they would be allowed to be their own movie. While it was visually stunning, and had an AMAZING cast, sticking so strictly to the original movie and only adding mild embelishments made it feel underwhelming. I personally had the same issue with Beauty and the Beast, lines that made sense before suddenly felt forced and out of place. My family loved the Cinderella remake and I wish these movies had similar re-imaginings, where the story could follow the same plot but have some room to breathe. I feel like they hit the balance well with Aladdin but Lion King missed the mark for me.

Did not expect this movie to be as funny as it was! Our family of four was cracking up. We loved it!
