Okay, now don't get me wrong, I'm a teen and I really shouldn't be watching this. But young kids, particularly ones under the age of 6 really deserve better content to watch and Cocomelon isn't that.

My first flaw with the show is that the animation is way too slow. I mean compared to another CGI show aimed at young children such as Ready Jet Go, which has faster animation, is much more interesting to watch and contains much better CGI. Which leads to my next issue with Cocomelon.

Secondly, the CGI is very vapid and resembles more like a shovelware PS1/Nintendo 64 game more than an actual show compared to other shows aimed at the same audience. I mean you'll see a huge difference when you compare Cocomelon with another CGI show like another popular preschool show (in this case, PAW Patrol). Unlike Cocomelon, PAW Patrol has pretty decent CGI and you can tell they took the time to animate the show rather than rushing to produce something that makes Bubsy 3D look like Super Mario Galaxy in comparison.

My third and quite possibly the most obvious flaw with this show is that is this show is simply for "kids only". What makes most preschool shows I like (namely, Sesame Street, Bluely, Alphablocks, and Cyberchase) is that those shows know that parents will be watching it with them instead of being something that'll distract an a child via over-stimulants.

Final Words: It's not good. Not the worst preschool show out there, but parents are better off looking for something produced by a company that puts effort into their shows such as Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount, Sesame Workshop, WildBrain, Nelvana, PBS, or BBC. The only thing that's keeping it from having a 1/10 is that it IS slightly educational to give it credit.

The first three Ice Age movies played a pretty big role in my childhood often competing with other movie franchise such as The Land Before Time, Minions, and even Disney. But The Adventures of Buck Wild is just a typical sequel. Much like that Land Before Time movie (you know, the one with the three dinosaurs no one liked), this movie just felt like Disney (who brought Fox in 2019) was melting the already small Ice Berg that was the franchise we all once thought was dead.

The CGI, while pretty underwhelming, wasn't that bad (especially compared to something such as Minions or even Toy Story 4 for that matter) it still felt like a downgrade from Dawn of the Dinosaurs. And the story writing was forgetful at best.

My final thoughts? This film isn't the worst Ice age film, but that doesn't mean it's good. It just didn't feel right when the 20th Century Fox logo was replaced by the beautiful yet VERY annoying Disney logo. So I'd pass unless you are a diehard ice age fan.
