So, I just watched the new Bad Guys holiday special on Netflix, and I thought it was alright. Nothing groundbreaking or anything, but it's a solid holiday special. Here's my thoughts on it.
So first off, the animation. The animation is worse than the movie, but that's to be expected since the movie was an feature length movie released in cinemas, and this is a 25 minute special released for Netflix, but the animation is still decent. It's a bit more stiff, but it gets the job done without being too distracting.
Next up, the actors. So another thing changed was that all the actors were replaced for this one, which also makes since considering this was made on a much lower budget than the movie, so it makes sense they can't afford all those actors back for this, so do the new actors do a good job? Meh, they're alright, but they don't carry the same charm as the movie actors. Mr. Wolf is alright, but everyone else just don't carry the same charm.
Finally, the story. I don't really have much to say on the story, it was alright. Basically the whole story revolves around The Bad Guys having to save Christmas so they can pull off their big holiday heist, not the most groundbreaking thought provoking story ever but it is still fun to watch.
In conclusion, The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday is a short but sweet holiday special. It has a simple but fun story, but falls a bit flat in terms of the animation and voice acting. Overall, I'd give it a 6/10 thanks for reading!
