Plot: When scientists discover a way to transform human consciousness into robotic animals, Mabel uses the new technology to uncover mysteries of the animal world that are beyond anything she could have ever imagined.
This film was Good.
Pros: I like it’s worked people reaction to wildlife. The animation looks good. It shows how intelligent scientists Are helpful to the plot. The voice cast are good in their roles. It succeeded of not being boring & it had good emotional moments.
This is definitely worth seeing with your kids.
Cons: The villain plot felt rushed and unimportant. It’s music didn’t really hit me as I was hoping. The jokes didn’t work for me & it might be not the same level as other Pixar movies.
