Review: (#1) This style of art isn’t going to appeal to many people, but it could be sufficiently interesting to some. (#2) This design is minimal, but not sufficiently compelling.

Trailer Rating: C-

Review: The plot is haphazardly presented and the animation doesn’t look like it’s as fluid as it should be. The combination could be detrimental to its potential.

Oscar Prospects:

It’s another GKids effort, and one from a filmmaker that they got an Oscar nomination for; however, the film doesn’t look that interesting based on the trailer and this year’s animated line up is chock full of contenders, which could hurt GKids a lot.
