Uma Noite no Museu: O Retorno de Kahmunrah

Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again, the animated sequel in the beloved franchise, successfully captures the whimsical spirit and adventurous heart of its predecessors while introducing a new generation to the magic of museum exhibits coming to life after dark. Directed by Matt Danner and Justin Lovell, the film centers on Nick Daley, Larry's teenage son, as he takes on the night watchman duties and inevitably faces a resurrected Kahmunrah, the nefarious older brother of Ahkmenrah. The animation style is bright and engaging, bringing a fresh visual energy to familiar characters and introducing a host of new, historically significant figures to the after-hours chaos.

The film smartly balances nostalgia with new elements. Beloved characters like Jedediah, Octavius, and Theodore Roosevelt return, offering their signature humor and camaraderie, while new additions like Joan of Arc and Harriet Tubman inject fresh perspectives and opportunities for engaging historical interactions. The plot, while following a familiar structure of Kahmunrah seeking world domination, introduces enough new twists and challenges to keep audiences entertained. The humor is geared towards a younger audience but still retains the witty charm that appealed to fans of the live-action films, making it an enjoyable watch for the whole family.

Joshua Bassett voices Nick with a relatable blend of teenage apprehension and burgeoning heroism, stepping into the night watchman role with a desire to prove himself. Joseph Kamal brings a suitably menacing yet slightly theatrical flair to Kahmunrah, making him a compelling antagonist for this new adventure. The animation allows for more fantastical scenarios and imaginative set pieces, expanding the possibilities of what can come to life within the museum walls.

Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again is a worthy successor to the franchise, offering a fun and engaging animated adventure that captures the magic and humor of the original films. It successfully introduces a new protagonist and exciting historical figures while staying true to the core concept of museum exhibits coming to life at night. With its bright animation, engaging storyline, and strong voice cast, it's a delightful family film that proves the adventures within the museum walls are far from over, promising more historical hijinks for a new generation of fans.

I found out about this movie from my brother. And I started watching this hopeful that this would at lest have some good things with it.

But just as I hoped that it didn't do, it ruined a great franchise.

Why does Disney have to ruin everything?

I have seen some reviews here saying the CGI is good, and yes it can seam amazing at first, until you realize it was made in 2022.

The story seams to have been set after the 3rd movie, but there is a ton of stuff that is just plain wrong, and is just disappointing for them to mess up.

Here are some of them:

• Wasn't Nick going to College?

• Didn't Larry become a teacher?

• Why is Kahmunrah in New York?

• Where did the basement stuff come from?

• Didn't Dr. McPhee know they were alive?

• Why are they bullies to everyone who's not Larry or Nick?

• Why is the tablet in New York?

I am mad and disappointed at the existence of this horrible movie.

Seriously Disney do you lack so much creativity nowadays first you do pointless and forgettable squeals like Hocus Pocus, Enchanted and your latest movie strange world just sucked.

I love the night of the museum movies all 3 films it had charm and humor and very memorable actors like Robin Williams, ben stiller, Owen Wilson and more all the actors give it there all. Now this latest one which is unnecessary like Toy story 4 we didn't need four movies it ended fine on third movie.

The animation looks awful looks like something you see in point and click game none of original actors did the voices and no one can top the late Robin Williams as Teddy.

The characters are easily forgettable in comparsion live action version and Disney continues to go downhill theres no creativity anymore just painful cash grabs.

The museum is in need of a new night guard as Larry has got an new job at Tokya Museum and Larry's son Nick is given the job offer to take over as new night guard. Now, Nick is still a boy too scared to fight his self doubt and he his pit against Kahmunrah returning from the last film along with the daddy issues. Plus, they get to travel to ancient Egypt this time and it is upto Nick to find his confidence back on time to bring everybody back to the museum safe.

The film offers nothing new, mainly because I am not the target audience for this animated feature unlike the live-action trilogy. I did chuckle at couple of lines but that was about it. Largely aimed at kids only, I guess it's serves the purpose of giving basic entertainment as it doesn't try anything more. The lines are as pedestrian as a cartoon show might get and the screenplay is extremely convenient.

Let me begin by saying that this film has a great storyline with tremendous potential, but unfortunately, the filmmakers seem to have targeted an age group between 3-5 year-old. It is not a film that a 9-year-old child would truly enjoy.

It was nice to see the beautiful values portrayed in the film, such as friendship, selflessness, and a strong sense of bonding that closely resembles a family bond. However, it would have been better to also include some humor. The film was overly formulaic and lacked originality.

I watched this film with my children, and the part that made us laugh the most was the character of the God of Chaos. He was the most comedic element in the film.

This film can be described as an episode within a series of children's shows, and nothing more. But to be a standalone film, I don't think it succeeded. We didn't get to know the characters well, and there weren't strong enough motivations to connect the audience with them.

In summary, I believe this film was simply a filler for commercial purposes. However, the worst part was the exploitation of the "Night at the Museum" name.
