They over used some cheesy after-effects tight focus blurring throughout all of the live-action + 3D toon scenes (which is most of the film), where only one character is in focus at 1080p and all the other characters look like they're 144p resolution. This is not just in a few key scenes, this is throughout the majority of the entire friggen movie! Even characters doing the talking or main action are often blurred out with focus placed on someone else. As if we're only allowed to pay attention to that character that's in focus and noone else. No bueno.

I hope they do a new cut release with no blurring so I can enjoy the film in HD.

Otherwise, the art was very competent and visually appealing. I just wish it wasn't all blurred out all the time.

I am a harsh critic when it comes to 3D animation; I've long held the opinion that it's garbage. But I have to say, there's some real talent that worked on this picture. The models are adorable, the animation is fluid, the lip synchronization is spot on, and the facial expressions and body language are next level! I hope if Disney ever makes a Zootopia 2, that these people are working on it. Congrats! The artists definitely need a bigger budget on their next project.

The voice acting is marvelous. The story has the right amount of depth. The pacing left me engaged. Everything was going so well, up until the point of climax. And then... I don't know, the movies just got dumb. The dude throws a tiny torch at a giant lava sculpture, it catches fire and destroys the stadium? Nothing makes sense anymore. Physics goes out the window. Ridiculous anarchy ensues. It's one big fever dream and then we wake up in the hospital.

Did Daisy dream the whole thing up? We may never know.

Shame on the director.

I'm currently half-way through watching this film and it's quite enjoyable. If you like puns and wordplay with a British twist, then look no further.

The plot carries along at a steady clip, it's obviously well directed and holds my attention. We're basically in a boarding school with an adult pupil that the school wont let go because his family's estate was willed to the school for as long as he's a student there... and a student he will remain. There's also a race horse bookie and a lady crime boss who wants to get their cut, but that's really besides the point. The entire thing is draped in one pun and bad joke after another, after another, peppered with cultural references of the day and locale, yet well spoken. As an American, I can actually understand the majority of what's being said without turning subtitles on, and I can discern most of the jokes from context alone.

So, I'm pleasantly surprised. Give it a go, it's definitely underrated.

It reminds me of a radio play comedy that relies heavily on good writing and dialog, not just silly antics. Dad-jokes abound.
