Not a lol player, have played... not a fan.
That doesn't matter. This show was superb nevertheless. Excellent story telling, the pace is great, stunning visuals & art, top tier voice acting... this is what turns the tide showing that video game adaptations CAN be done well and not suck.
Looking forward to season 2!

It's bright, the animation is smooth, my kid enjoyed it but it is missing that "something". Ya know, the special something that most disney movies have. Dreamworks found that magic with how to train your dragon 1&2 but have not quite been able to recapture it.
The thing that sticks out the most is the music. I get it rihanna is the voice of the main character so of course a song will be in there. I was thinking the end credits maybe or one song in the movie. Nope, every 20 minutes is a song and it lasts too long. It feels very shoehorned into the movie and out of place often. Like or hate her music, it doesn't fit with the feeling or setting of the movie. If they had her do music made for the movie it could have worked, but they just play her radio music during the movie for long stretches at a time. The rock is not a good singer, but having him sing in Moana worked because the song was made to fit the movie, this is just taking a radio so g and shoving it into the film. My kid who dances along to all the animated Disney musicals didn't budge during the music sections even when the movie literally tells you to dance for the music. It truly was immersion shattering and really damaged what could have been an otherwise good movie.
As a voice actress, rihanna did pretty well actually. Not stunning but I was actually pleasantly surprised. J-lo did very well playing the mother too which was another pleasant surprise.
The lessons and story are a little shallow and very predictable. There isn't much here for teens + and is clearly a kids movie.
I think part of what makes the Disney movies so successful (and how to train your dragon for dreamworks) is they aren't afraid to address serious or adult themes. This doesn't really have any, it's more about what makes a friend, and not giving up.
I give it a 4 because the kid did enjoy the bright colors and some fun animation, but I didn't get the vibe from her that it is going to be a movie she requests multiple times (unlike Moana which is basically on loop, and I'm totally on with that). As an adult watching with your kid, you aren't going to find yourself entertained or moved as if you were watching a Pixar movie or something. Mix that with the very forced in rihanna tracks and it just makes for a sub par experience.
Not a totally terrible dumpster fire of a movie, but below average for sure.

For real. Its exactly what you think it is. Super simple songs for kids.
