In two lines:
This movie has beautiful animation and attention put into it, but overall it somehow doesn't come together. The plot is very flat and predictable and the characters don't come to live.
Story Summary A young girl lived in a family where she is outshines by basically every member. She goes on a journey or bravery and self discovery to add value.
Analysis: The movie lacks heart, which is not because attention wasn't given. But the movie feels rushed and lack flashed out characters. It's basically scenes next to each other and many characters are introduced but none include the main characters steals the show.
Dialogue: Very average and predictable.
Voice Acting: is more then fine, the professionals did what the script told them too. Nothing to complain here.
Visuals (Decor): visually the movie is at its best it looks fantastic and keeps up the quality of Disney
Characters: The biggest flaw. Most character have one or none to shine especially the sister of the main character is very one dimensional and so is one uncle who is a key figure even the parents of the girl do nothing more then being side characters. And one of the main characters closest family members has a moment and te beginning and is then tossed aside.
Aside from that there are some great animal characters, but those rarely get a shot other then a meme moment.
Music: the music is not bad at all, but here the comparison with Coco will be made and it is not in the same universe. The soundtrack is ok and after a viewings it will probably be loved by many. But on a first watch nothing stood out.
The story is original in the sense that it feels like a very original take on the Ugly Ducking tale, but it is full of cliche and average dialogue.
Overall assessment: This movie is not bad, but would I recommend it, not really. It is not bad, but there are so many better movies.
And even as someone who personally feels connected to Colombia this movie didn't give me a lot on that edge other then some of the singers.
End Word: The review might seem harsh, but this movie just didn't live up to its potential and didn't bring anything to the table to make it memorable or worth a rewatch. Only thing I would want to rewatch it the Toucan characters who was the best part of the movie.
