Cranston Academy: Monster Zone

The positive: They managed to make me chuckle a couple times, specifically two times, and I think it was mostly from desperation more than anything.

The cons: Everything else, they have so many bad tropes they just keep throwing at the wall, over and over, disjointed scenes, non-sensical plot, and really just sorta racist against Mexicans, which is odd as it is Mexican.

There are scenes that literally doesn't fit in, where they make really bad skits. Everyone in the movie is unlikeable and no character development at all.

I don't get how this came out of pre-production, or even made it out of Mexico, it's just really really bad.

Not worth your time even if it's the film showing at the time youwant to go to the movies. Thanks.

I think this might be the worst children's film. It went from being mind numbingly boring to terrifying and then back again. The dialogue was dreadful and the voice acting was pretty awful too (not helped by the limp script). Jokes were few and far between and tended to focus on stereotypes. The plot was paper thin and made little sense. The one redeeming feature was some of the landscape design in the monster world.

A crazy Mexican animated movie. It is about an intelligent boy who is taken to a boarding school in England and discovers the fifth dimension where monsters come from and attack them. Animation is good. Entertaining The story at times does not make sense and many things do not, situations like this happen, simply by passing and without spinning. Many inexplicable events. The interesting thing is that in England they speak Spanish very fluently. Colorful to the extreme to hook the child audience. It fulfills its function which is to entertain but only that. Talk about teamwork, no more. It really is not bad what he tries but he stays alone in that. Light jokes and situation, but they are few moments of comedy. Predictable like all of its kind.

I sat down to watch the 2020 CGI animated movie "Cranston Academy: Monster Zone" with my 10 year old son. I hadn't heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, so I didn't really know what to expect from it. However, I did read the synopsis, and I will say that it actually sold the movie well enough.

In terms of entertainment, then "Cranston Academy: Monster Zone" didn't really manage to impress me. Sure, it was watchable and had some interesting enough moments. However, it just failed to stand out amidst numerous other CGI animated movies that fared better in terms of being enjoyable and entertaining.

I did like the animation and art style that they opted to use for making "Cranston Academy: Monster Zone". And some of the 5th dimension creature designs were rather interesting. That worked well enough in favor of the movie.

However, it was the storyline that was just too mundane, and it was holding the movie back. Now, I am not saying that it was boring or anything. Not at all. It was entertaining enough for what it turned out to be. However, it just didn't manage to tip the scale to becoming impressive.

The characters in the storyline were a bit on the boring side. They were rather mundane and bland, to be bluntly honest. Aside from the mothman, whom was actually the one standing out, alongside with the hamster. However, the main characters were just generic.

We managed to sit through the entire animated movie, but weren't overly won over. I am rating "Cranston Academy: Monster Zone" a very bland and mediocre five out of ten stars. It is, however, very unlikely that I will ever return to watch this 2020 CGI animated movie a second time, as it just didn't have the script, plot or contents to support more than a single viewing.
