I just finished watching the movie. I was curious to see how BAD it actually was, because I've always heard this is one of Disney's worst movies. And honestly? It wasn't that bad. I even enjoyed it. I might not watch it again, but I wouldn't tell anyone not to watch it. There were a couple jokes in there that I thought were genuinely funny and it gets surprisingly intense at times. However, there were some parts where the characters mouths didn't move when they were talking, but that didn't really bother me. The characters were fun too. From the trailer, I expected to find Gribble annoying and he actually turned out to be my favorite. Overall, I'd give this movie a 6/10. It's a cute story and surprisingly enjoyable.

The movie wasn't bad, but I feel like Megamind has pretty much the same message and Megamind did it better. For example, the bad guys say people are scared of them only because of how they were born or what they look like. This doesn't work too well with this movie. The bad guys consist of animals that are considered dangerous. Which they are. People are scared of Snake because well...snakes can kill people. I get what the movie is saying and that's its just a cartoon. Megamind, however, handled this much better because Megamind really did just LOOK different. He became bad because that's what everyone saw him as ONLY because of his looks, not because of a previous reputation or fact. Just to clarify, I'm talking about the beginning of the movie where the kids made fun of him just because he's blue, not later on when he's an actual criminal. I still enjoyed the movie. I just feel Megamind portrayed the same message in a much better way.

It's an interesting idea....but without any rules for the contestants to follow? It really brings out the bad in people and how horrible they can be if you promise them enough money. There are a few good and sane ones but they are constantly getting bullied by the terrible people. Jill was the worst out of all of them. Watching it just makes me angry and whoever had the idea for this show has to do some rethinking. Add more rules for the players to follow to keep things civil, then try again. Don't let it become an all out war.

*Maybe Minor Spoilers/hints to the ending* I heard a lot of bad reviews about this movie and was really curious to see if it was as bad as everyone says. I enjoy watching the show and was excited when I saw there would be a movie. I actually enjoyed it. I was a little bummed that the voice actors didn't sing and someone else did, but that's really just a nitpick. The singers did really well and I focused on just enjoying the songs instead of being annoyed. Another nitpick is that Marinette got a lot of character development when Adrien didnt really get a development arc, but he's starting to get more attention in the show and he was still a fun character in the movie. I can see why people would be confused by the movie, as the ending confused me a lot. But I just summed it up as some kind or parallel universe thing. It's my own way of having it make sense and it makes it more fun to see it that way. Also, the animation was gorgeous. I enjoyed the movie overall and don't really think it deserves the hate it gets.
