Moviegoers are saying
This animated sports film about anthropomorphic animals has divided audiences with its bold creative choices and stylized animation. While reviewers praise the expressive visuals and familiar underdog sports narrative, many are put off by specific character design decisions and pacing issues that prioritize Gen Alpha sensibilities over broader appeal.
