    UNREAL ON SO MANY LEVELS.

    Listen, there is no rhyme or reason to this film. It was hilarious but I couldn't understand what was happening. Great deal of questions left unanswered. The dancing was top notch. Must see for everyone.

    This movie is garbage.

    There is no other way to put it, this movie is an utter flaming pile of garbage.

    The quality of this animation is so bad that mickey mouse first cartoon from back in the 1960s with black and white looks much better than this terrible 2020 cheap terrible movie.

    The Story, Voice Acting, Editing, Animation are all terribly made. The story is so incredibly boring and unfulfilling. A story about my pet rock would be more interesting.

    It is so incredibly boring and is mostly walking with the occasional dancing. Sorry -- CONSTANT -- Dancing.

    It makes no sense and goes from scene to scene like a stinking slideshow, the voices don't match animations and the story is so bad a ten year old could come up with something more interesting.

    This movie encourages kids to go looking for old men in forests (This is not a joke this is literally something in the movie)

    This movie also teaches kids that all of their problems get fixed just as they appear. (OH NO ROCKS ARE FALLING ON US) well no worries they are gone now.

    PURCHASE some other movie, not this flaming pile of dog poo garbage..

    DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE.

    I like it very much, tastes may differ

    The plot of the movie impressed me. Besides, there is no violence in the movie and it has a very good subject. I think he criticizes capitalism, emphasizes educational equality ...

    This movie should be destroyed!

    This movie is TERRIBLE! I don't know why others found it to be worth anything over one star, but they must not have watched it. It has horrible graphics (like it was created using a computer from the 90s), a weird story, creepy animation, everything moves dreadfully slow, and the voice acting is godawful. I can appreciate oddly made films, but this was trash.

    Good luck staying awake while watching this

    After seeing Double Toasted review this, I let my curiosity get the best of me again and decided to check it out. Not only is this horribly made but it was so boring, I almost fell asleep.

    The graphics look woefully bad and out of date like they came from a video game engine created about twenty years prior. There are obviously copied and pasted objects everywhere like pine trees, bushes, and animals. The animation is extremely limited and sluggish, the lip syncing is way off, and the camera and characters frequently clip through the trees and plants.

    The character models look as crummy and outdated as the scenery. Acela and the kids in looked downright creepy with their oversized heads and bulging, unblinking eyes that are set too far apart. Acela even seemed like a killer doll in a horror movie whenever she giggled!

    The story is absolutely stale and slow-paced. Half the movie consists of the characters just going on long boring walks at a snail's pace with no music and little to no ambient noise. Other times, they just stumble around aimlessly like they're on drugs. Like I said, it's so boring, watching paint dry is more interesting.

    The voice acting is totally drab sounding, as if the so-called actors are paid in beer. The dialogue is awkward and repetitive, especially the kids dialogue.

    The only highlight was the green alien with his surprisingly fluid dance moves. That's the only reason I gave this 2 stars instead of 1. Other than that, there's no other redeeming qualities here whatsoever.

    This was as bad as "The Asylums" worst animated films, like "Trolland". So, for God's sake, don't let your kids watch this garbage unless you want to lobotomize them and yourselves.
