Ok they had fun playing with the computer effects again, but it's no Forest Gump. Plenty of cheap horror movies have done better at showing the same location through time, through indigenous inhabitation to pioneer days up through the modern era. It didn't have to be chronological but there was not much reason to why and how they jumped around in time. Some cheap memories for viewers to play trivia on is about the height of artistry in this film. You can play a fun party game trying to guess the year from the American stereotypes pasted in. Some of them offensively, blatantly so. A few saccharine cute, most just rather banal.

The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy is the second worst sci-fi cartoon. Contemporary humans in Earth animal bodies, allegedly alien, thinking like humans. Sci-fi is just used as an excuse to make up nonsense with no follow through or logic. Just silly ideas thrown out at random and most don't stick.

If you like Grey's Anatomy watch that again, not this copycat. Or go back and watch Futurama for a more thoughtful cartoon. This is not speculative fiction. Neither is it fantasy. Not suitable for young children, both because of content intended for teenagers, and because it could mould their open minds into thinking like politicians talk.

The art from the original Dances With Smurfs has been recycled successfully. No budget was wasted on any pretense of plot. It's jam packed with maximum nonsense, just as set ups for morality lessons. Lessons such as: ignore evidence based medicine, depend only on prayer and acupuncture.

The Blue conservatives fear any change. They don't have any sustainable economy, and depend on parasitical cargo culture. When the different races of blue people fight against each other, they switch to talking in English. All the races of blue people seem to share the same strange embarrassment and shame about nipples. This installment introduces implausibly miscegenetic half breeds. Presumably intended as an opportunity to lecture on metis oppression.

The Blue Conservatives torture big ducks, to make them fight against the Red Liberals, who are trying to provide aid to the blue people as a sideline while protecting their own families. Oh, and a psychic whale goes all Moby Dick and Jonah and the whale, at the same time. Pretty much any random thought from anywhere else is crammed into this mess.

The popcorn was ok.
