Pets Unidos!

Something obviously went very, very, very wrong during the making of this computer animated movie. The only theory I have that might explain its general failure to entertain is the fact that it was a co-production between three very different countries - China, Germany, and the UK. With three different cultures working on the same project, it seems that it couldn't be fine tuned to be satisfying to one (or any) culture.

The movie fails in two big ways. First, there is the script. It is an utter mess. There are many things that are not explained, character development is usually near zero, and there is obvious padding. The second misstep is that it is directed in a manner that is pretty much free of passion and enthusiasm. Things plod along EXTREMELY slowly, and when there is a scene of action or suspense, the movie is remarkably casual and unexciting. Even the music score throughout is held back so much that you hardly register it in your mind.

In fairness to the movie, I will admit that I wasn't unsatisfied by its visual presentation. While the movie didn't have a Hollywood budget, the movie looks fairly colorful and detailed. But even with an acceptable look, the rest of the movie is so tiresome and badly handled that it was a real struggle for me to watch the movie completely to the end. I think even young children will get some sort of feeling that the movie is being held back in many key areas, so even they should not be subjected to watching it.

The entire plot could be explained in a few sentences. It should really be a 5-10 minute animated short and even then it would be unimaginative.

The animation looks good in stills but in motion it's awful. The editing is just bad. Nothing feels smooth or natural. None of the dialogue is interesting at all.

If I gave netflix budget animation tools to your average high school level writers and designers you would get this movie. Even then I would give them a C-.

This movie has absolutely no redeeming moments. No good parts, the most boring and useless hour and a half you'll ever spend. Watching paint dry or grass grow would be a better use of time. What Rodger leaves in front of the door to distract the robot doorman sums this movie up exactly.

Not sure why this was made...graphics are good...story is truly awful

First off, movies have ratings for a reason...TV-Y7 means its not really meant for kids under 7. So all these posts about hiw this movie isn't suitable for their 2 year old..well duh...it says its not. Anyways, on to the movie...its a decent story with decent acting. It could be better but, I have seen far worse. It has a good lesson for kids about not judging others. Give it a try.. I mean..its not like you can't stop it and put something else on.
