This is one of those animated movies we get every few years in which it's clear that almost the entirety of the budget was spent on the stacked voice cast and very little attention was given to what's on screen.
The animation is extremely sub-par for the most part, looking more akin to a straight-to-Netflix TV series than to a modern animated feature film.
The voice cast-which consists of very talented actors-all sleepwalk through their performances and sound like they want to fire their agents with every line that they utter.
The script consists almost entirely of tired visual gags, pop culture references, and very dull cat and dog puns. I think I chuckled twice in the entire movie at a couple of the most absurd, awkwardly inserted comedic moments.
As for the characters and story, it could all be called competent at best. There is not a single original idea or memorable moment in the entire film, nor is there a single iota of the whole product that isn't done infinitely better in other movies.
Both Kung Fu Panda and Blazing Saddles are where almost everything is lifted from, and it does result in a story of heroism that is okay in concept, but there is no reason for this movie to exist when both Kung Fu Panda and Blazing Saddles are near-masterpieces of wit and character and you should all just watch those instead.
