StarDog and TurboCat

Seems low effort. All the random slapstick... should have been a direct to Netflix kids movie.

I was expecting more from this animation. Very Saturday morning appropriate grade school dialogue, humor & script. Basic premise is that townsfolk don't like cats, dogs, rabbits & fish, and as to why no real explanation. Main plot is the town's sheriffs main activity is chasing them down & locking them up. Second plot element was dog sent into space, but apparently there's a malfunction so he's frozen (dumb; bad science). Next he mysteriously arrives in said town in his capsule 50 years later. Third plot element is our cat acts like a cat toward everyone (dog included), but becomes a better cat later on. Final made-up science plot is capsule contains powerful element (hyper-lithium) that when made into a radiation beam changes things. Animation was slightly better than average with 3-D figures w/natural movement, but downside is the figures lacked detail - very plastic toy like.

Judging this from budget point of view this is a must watch, story is indeed full of cliches but its funny and entertaining. Kids will like it for sure. Me and my wife liked it and we are in our 30's (we really enjoy anumated movies). Dont have Pixar expectations and you will enjoy it.

This film is full of cliches and recycled ideas. The animation is decent, but plot and music lack inspiration or meaning. I had average expectations going in, with the imdb showing a rating of 7.1 out of 10. About 2 minutes in, I could not figure out how it got a rating that high. It showed 894 star ratings averaging 7.1. Out of the 8 written reviews, at least 3 are 10 stars and written by bots! This should have never made it to redbox! My 5 year old liked it, but I repeatedly resisted the urge to turn it off. The funnest thing about this show was commenting with my teenagers on the painfully lackluster storyline, the voluminous cliches and borrowed tropes, and the inconsistent and random background music. I think a fairer rating would actually be 2 to 3 out of 10 stars, because I've seen worse, but I gave it one star to bring the artificial high lower.

The voice audio in this film is awful, sometimes it will sound fine then randomly the characters will start sounding muffled, I dont know how something like that happens. The animation is not very good but and the humor is basically non existent. I'll admit this is obviously for very young children, but I cant imagine someone over 3 enjoying this, and even then I think it'd be hard for a 3 year old to like this. It's boring and the animation is bland, I guess it could keep your kids busy for an hour and 30 minutes, but I think kids deserve something a little better than this
