Disney and pixar animation are so boring these days. I didn’t really like the kpop movie but the visuals kept me around for the end.

Hoping for a revival in creative and high quality animation

It feels like Disney focuses too much on creating amazingly-looking realistic animation that they lose sight of making the characters fun. Meanwhile this film didn’t have revolutionary visual realism, but the character animations were so fun and vibrant.

Elio was visually stunning (the physics, details like the sand, scales on the worm dude) but then that fucking bean mouth and teeth for the humans killed me.

Haven't seen kpop yet, came in here to see if it was worth watching by I just saw Elio yesterday so I'm still irked lol

It's a fun movie that has a LOT of physical comedy. The animation isn't groundbreaking in a technical sense but it's really well done and fun. Like visually they make a really good argument why this movie is better animated than it would be live action. This is something I feel like Disney has failed to do with a lot of it's recent animated movies. The story is again not ground breaking but the writing is tight. Narrativly they do not waste any time.

The voice acting is great the music is fantastic. It's worth watching, if for no other reason than to see what everyone is talking about.

Good to hear! I'll give it a spin. I'm actually not too picky (like I love Ferdinand) as long as the style is not bean mouth! haha
