Os Caras Malvados: Um Natal do Mal

Not sure why they bothered with this. Completely different voices, very sub par animation, just a b-grade budget version of the original.

Why not just make a completely different one with different characters if it's going to have nothing whatsoever to do with the original?

The story felt obvious and lazy. My child, who loves the first one, was unimpressed and asked to watch something else half way through.

I don't know if they just made this to keep the characters fresh in our minds before the second movie comes out, but if so it was a massive mistake. It just lowers the overall quality of the franchise.

I usually don't write reviews. But it is a typical bad guys adventure. Nothing wrong with it besides being not that long plot wise. The timeline is a tad off to the movie for obvious non spoiler reasons. But whatever. The animation downgrade is something my eyesight has to get use to. I have seen worse. I know some ppl type way of the og cast not returning. This ain't the first time in animation history it's happened so it is what it is. I mean sure Raul Ceballos' singing voice isn't Anthony Ramos. But why should it be? You can tell the difference with certain voices, but it's solid voice acting. If you like the movie. You might like this, or you might not. If another movie of the bad guys happens it's possible with hopefully this doing well that we'll get a tv show which I think would be dope. Either way I'm supporting this IP.

The quality of animation, physics, details, the atmosphere, the "lived-in" feeling of the world, the details of the fur, the dialogues, and almost everything about this movie took a trip to the "budget" lane.

It's surprising to see the director and the studio destroy something that could have been treated better, but maybe it's also a good thing, seeing that there are too many franchise-sequel-prequel-reboot movies around.

This looks graphics-and-world-building-wise comparable to 90ies Crazy Taxi videogame but unlike it or the Star Wars Holiday special won't leave fond memories due to being terribly boring even for the children!

The Bad Guys movie was really enjoyable and charming, plus the beautiful animation but what happens if you take the fun heist antics of the bad guys and take away the great animation? Your left with what feels like the cutscenes of a 2000s licensed bad guys video game.

The holiday special itself is a basic but enjoyable time that still has those characters and the heist fun that came from the original film. I do think that the limited animation definitely hinders the special as the original film had a unique and fun visual style that they try to emulate in this special, for the most part all the character designs do look good and match the films style but the rigid movement and somewhat choppy animation makes it a bit disappointing as a follow up/prequel to the movie. I do think this was do to the special having a lower budget which is something out of the control of the animators.

Overall I think it's a fine enough special that kids and adults can get some enjoyment out of during the holiday season, but not an instant classic like Charlie Brown or Garfield's Christmas specials.

I had a really a good hope for this movie. I was so happy to see the characters i loved in the original movie. Yes they are in this one too, but the cast is different. That pluss bad animation made me so disappointed. The movie doesn't have the same feel and vibes like the original movie. The story is ok, and there was some good laughs. But since i was a fan of the original cast, and was hopeful to see theme again. I was shocked when i noticed that the cast was changed.

Yhe movie might be good xmas movie for the kids and adults that don't care for who's i the cast.

I really hope that if there is an number 2 movie in the making, that they do use the original cast.and better animators.
