TY for your perspective fren. I'll use it to weigh against everything else.I just finished it so I'll just give a quick and dirty.
The bean mouth thing actually looks better in motion, out of context stills don't really do it justice. Overall the animation is a lot better than I thought it would be since I'm used to both disney and pixar being stiff.
As far as the story goes I actually think it was pretty middle of the road. I think whatever side of the culture war fence you are on will paint your perception dramatically, but as someone who was going into this ready to hate it, I don't think this is some Cuties level of globohomo propaganda. The 4 chan posts reek more of autists who need to touch grass and coomers who need to commit minecraft.
In conclusion I don't think it was especially ground breaking, but I think most normal people will like it, and its a decent take on the whole coming of age thing. A young imposter could relate despite being a manga nerd rather than a bean mouth pixar protagonist.
I'm pretty hypersensitive about this sexual corruption of kids we're seeing more and more of. Anytime that there's even a hint of that I bristle. Because of that I probably would've seen the same thing and I don't know if I can unsee it at this point.
I always want to point out that Bob has never defended the quality of Cuties. He only attacks people who call it pedo propaganda as mindless chuds because a woman reviewer got bullied for calling Cuties a great coming of age film.Not really because the Cuties meltdown became funny due to the fact Bob was defending a universally hated film that featured real kids twerking that literally no one stood up for all because the director was a black woman and assumed that was the real reason people hated it.
Bob extremely missed the point of the hate the film got and it was not some divisive issue that there could be some points in the defense for it's favor, no one liked it.
