This is, by far, the worst animated "movie" I've ever seen, and I struggle to even call it a "movie". At an hour long, it meets the time qualification to be considered a movie, but that's where it stops. The entire runtime consists of characters in a static pose, talking. Constantly. Endlessly. Ceaselessly talking. Each character has maybe three or four animations of their arms moving in some way, and some sort of scoot/sidestep animation, and they're repeated constantly. One of the characters literally sidesteps every few seconds he's on screen. There's also no attempt at lip-syncing. The dead-eyed stares and rudimentary mouth movements on the absolutely hideous character models make it look like it was animated in an early version of FaceRig, that program that attempts to motion-capture your webcam footage and overlays a 3D model on top of it. There's a "plot", I guess, but it's so inane and pointless. Between the constant chatter and lack of any visual stimulation, my brain basically shut down trying to get through this. If I had to give this a single-word review, it would be this: Insufferable. Save your sanity and don't watch this travesty of a "movie".
I tried twice to watch it. I had forgotten the first time how bad it immediately was. It is. Every second of this. The voices are ridiculous exaggerations of pop culture tropes. Mostly So. Cal. surfer. The characters are... frozen looking? Seems like very little effort to recreate actual movements of humanoids. I've seen student projects that excel well beyond this effort. I've even done some myself so I'm aware of what goes into it. I can't get through 2 minutes of it its so bad. I love pretty much any animation. No point in trying to watch this. Neither you nor your children should be subjected to this. All other animation is time much better spent.

Please who ever is thinking of watching this terrible movie especially if you had to pay for it like I did everything about this movie is horrible and there are no redeeming quality the animation looked as if a kid drew and animated it, second it that there is no plot you get put into situations with no introduction and no understanding why you are in there, third they reuse animation clips and it is so painfully obvious when the person is yelling and sad but there body stays cheerful even if the person is sad or mad, and lastly the movie makes no sense I could go on and on about it like "why does the movie have to start in a spaceship?" It makes zero sense. If I could give this movie a zero star I would without thinking it's a horrible waste of money for the watcher and the production of this movie though seeing the movie I'm sure they didn't use that much money.
