Overall the subject matter told, as well the period over which it is told works well.
The pacing is very much off though, quite a few moments where the story bumbles along unnecessarily, while the end felt overly rushed. As if the budget or running time ran out and scenes were cut. It could've used a bit more finesse to wrap the various storylines up.
Acting is decent, but nothing outstanding that would've helped the storytelling.
Completely forgivable if the drama was well done would've been the CGI and cinematography/editing.
The 3D CGI often felt like previs material used for the Final Cut, and the in camera effects were so poorly done that I think Thunderbirds might've done a better job.
Editing wise there were some distracting pans and cuts that broke dramatic tension or story flow.
All in all, this movie has so much potential, and because of it I did enjoy the movie to the end.

The opening episode takes the mickey out cheap reboots. But it's a bit the kettle calling the pot black as Animaniacs 2020 is just that.
Where Ducktales 2020 stayed true to its original format but still made it contemporary, Animaniacs feels dated and not on format.
The jokes are not sharp and daring, the writing is lazy and the contemporization feels forced and off beat. The writing and comedy is not up to 2020 standards, and even lost the edge of its nineties version.
I really wanted this to work, but I've been let down.
