I just finished for the first time since I saw it in theaters in 2019 (11 years old) I get why people dont like this movie. Its not a bad movie and I enjoyed it. The casting was actually good. Im giving it a 4 star because it could have been better. Another thing is that I like the character designs. It feels something unique in a kids musical and i like it.
4/5 Would recommend for ages 7-14
P.S the message does make since. "It's all about kindness being more important than conventional beauty, and difference making people special." and that is straight facts.
