7/10
Mixed bag

It felt like it took a while to get going, I have to admit I don't know what I think about the casting, I didn't think the magician had a particularly good voice, then as for the croc, I didn't love his voice, like JLM who does so many perfectly I felt that mendes's voice was a bit whiny in places.

It was a peculiar decision to have him as a mute, why not sing some dialogue to just make him more endearing? As with it being a croc it didn't instantly have the warm aww feeling you get with most characters.

The acting was fine, cheesy family fun, nothing was bad, but equally nothing was particularly memorable, I don't think it has much of a rewatch value and the songs sadly weren't particularly memorable or impressive. I mean from showman to vivo I do love animated song music for feel good playlists but none here really caught my ear.

It's a decent fun watch. It's a good movie, not all will be spectacular but it's definitely one kids will love, I'm unsure it has sequel potential but I guess the owner could be a baddy and take him on your etc.

Doesn't seem particularly popular sadly, guy at the cinema says it's one of the worst supported kids film this year, even ones like the excellent Ron's gone wrong was bringing in more people.
