Two weeks, two kids’ movies.  Oh my…  Well, this one was pretty good, after a really slow start.  The slow start knocks it down, but otherwise this movie gets 4 Icees!  Whereas Sonic was targeting pre-teen only, this movie is for a viewing audience that is slightly older, probably up to the early-teenage viewers, but has has enough (once it gets going) for everyone.  If you read my review for Sonic you know that I feel kids’ movies should have a lot of laughter.  This movie has some, but not really a lot, but I still liked the movie because it was like a younger Pixar-type adventure.

The story is solid enough, with the quest to….  oops, almost did a spoiler there.  Anyway, there is a quest and this movies follows our adventurers through it.  The references to a D&D-like game was  a nice touch as well.

The two main heroes are voiced by Tom Holland and Chris Pratt, and I hope someday they do a non-animation movie together because even though it was just their voices, I think they portrayed great chemistry together and I’d like to see more of that.  It’s a shame Marvel didn’t play off that in Infinity War / Endgame.

If you want to watch a fun movie this weekend, this is the one I’d recommend.

There are no scenes during or after the credits.

Enjoy…
