Bigfoot Family

All of the brain-dead and repetitive *PANS* in the reviews are obvious paid plants by the oil industry. There's scarcely an honest review amongst them. If you are looking here for a genuine write-up to help you decide whether to watch this movie, pay no attention to them. I could say a million things about this, but my main message is: This is a really fun movie, and beautifully done. A total winner. Unless you're in the oil business. (And if you are, go **** yourself.)

I won't even say anything about the obvious agenda the movie was pushing. I'll stick to the flat characters. If you're going to create an animated film you need quality, enthusiastic voice actors to bring your characters to life. Whomever these people were that voiced the characters didn't even seem like they memorized the lines. It sounds like someone is reading a paper they didn't write in front of their 8th grade class. I'm also curious who's idea it was to have a very obvious female voice a teenage boy? The entire movie was just lame, stereotypical garbage.

This movie is kinda like eating popcorn with no butter and no salt; its not gonna hurt you, but why would you bother? Bigfoot Family has all the subtlety and charm of a mid 90s "family life" educational special. Its the family movie equivalent of a comedian that explains every joke after they tell it.

Seriously, its just flat. Every single plot point is explicitly explained in the dialogue, all the "jokes" are on the nose. No charm, no timing, no whimsy, no emotion. Several characters nearly died several times and not once did i care either way.

Seriously, don't bother. Just watch Ferngully.

Propaganda that tries to shove an ideology down your throat while attempting to be entertaining. How was it? Not one you allow little minds to watch these decisions shouldn't be made until they are adults. Staying away from facts it introduces a story that's untrue giving children the idea bombs are used in fracking. Way out of this world untrue a d it's all about perception. Enough to make me puke. Animation was good, but the movie certainly wasn't entertaining. If they left out the anti-oil propaganda it may have been a fine film.

Decent watch at best, won't watch again, and can't really recommend.

While very stylized, the animation quality is excellent, but between Bigfoot having magic powers, having passed them to his son, the wife not being able to speak to animals (thus being left out of half their life), the weirdness of Bigfoot being an absent father, and the better movie that we skipped, there is a lot to be desired, very early in the movie.

I had hoped that the bigger plot would out weigh all the negative nuances, but it just didn't happen.

It's also a weird contrast of child focused presentation with an very extended murder plot: there's a corporations are earth murderers message that hits the audience like a frying pan, and it's just not fun enough to cover it. Maybe for young audiences.
