rynlingThe art and animation are extremely impressive!!
Unfortunately, all of the movie’s jokes are in the trailer...
...or in the sections with Star Fox, which are surprisingly well-written.
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!
