I had no idea this existed, heard virtually no hype about it but Netflix helps bring all sorts of horrors that were better off not being to light.
Just the latest in ugly live-action/animation hybrids, I have come to hate this sort of film a lot. This image of a post I saw someone else post sums up my attitude towards these films especially those of the past few years.
With Roger Rabbit and Cool World (which still had some interesting things going on even though Bakshi got screwed by the studio, and you can tell it was made by a cartoonist) what made those work was that the animation interacting with the live-action was ingrained into the plots, with so many others since then the animation comes off like it's being treated like a gimmick.
What gets me are all of the "animation IS cinema" types who will practically stampede each other to praise these more recent live-action/animated offerings. I remember when some of these people were hyping that terrible irony-infused Rescue Rangers movie, saying it was going to be the next Roger Rabbit, but it felt more like Cool World if you replaced Ralph Bakshi with corporate slimeballs and/or hack writers and/or Redditors. It was like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", I suppose, if you took the obvious appreciation of film and animation history that it was made with and replace all that with pandering IP nostalgia-bait, reference humor, over-the-top smug irony and bad “de-construction”.
