    felt weird watching this in a theater knowing damn well that god intended for this to be viewed on a smudgey iPad in a busy olive garden.

    Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken

    Felt like a combination of Turning Red and some weird Dreamworks retaliation against the Little Mermaid. Decent one time watch but I feel like they gave it all away in the trailer.

    Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken

    With a clunky plot, lackluster third act battle, and a “twist villain” that was revealed in the trailer, the film came out very boring.

    it was cute, little underwhelming and boring at times but still really good. i personally like that it’s something new and different than just a typical kids movie. loved the ending and soundtrack especially blackpinks song🫠

    It was pretty okay, better than a meh. Far from a brilliant animated classic, but plays it pretty safe throughout. Personally, I think Will Forte as the angry sea captain was the best part. Won’t crack any top ten lists.

    The music was all the time and so was the regret for watching it. Nothing happened until the last ten minutes and then they sequel baited so…

Not even the matriarchal link at the story’s center feels satisfying, its good intention strangled by the plotty chaos.

An aquatic, animated, all-ages romp full of familiar lessons and a few too many peppy pop songs that plays things so down-the-middle as to become perfectly forgettable.
