The art and animation are extremely impressive!!

Mostly it’s just a movie for kids, though. It has all the charm and creativity of the first movie, but it leans into speaking to a target demographic of 5-8yo children. The theater in West Philly where we went to see it was filled with little kids, and they really seemed to love it.

I liked it okay, I guess. There’s definitely enough Bowser/Luigi material to work with!
