This film, an animated Netflix-exclusive release, is the
product of an alternate reality. A reality as gleamed at by writer/director
Sergio Pablos, an animator who assisted in some of Disney’s later Renaissance
efforts and the man behind the source material for last year’s Smallfoot. It is
a reality where, instead of CGI becoming the standard, traditional animation
continued to be the norm. I am no nearly well-versed enough in multiverse
theory to even attempt to figure out how to see this reality for myself, but if
the films of that timeline looks half as good as this, then hot damn, we’ve
been missing out.
