Hilariously Awful

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is honestly kind of amazing. The dwegons appear to have been intentionally designed to be ugly and I think they're still uglier than the animators meant them to be. Most of them have textures that look like a combination of spackle and used gum. By contrast, the humans all look textureless and unfinished except for their weirdly lavish metallic hair. The cat may be the single worst thing I've seen produced by modern CGI.

The actual plot involves dwegons being house-fairies to a family fixing up an old house to turn into an inn. That and exposition dumps about what dwegons are takes up about half the movie. Then jewel thieves show up, end up wandering into the dwegon world under the hotel, and release the "main" villain who is in a single ten minute fight scene which contains some of the most confusing editing I've ever seen.

This is a movie that is mostly made of barely related scenes that don't entirely make sense, terrible musical numbers, and donuts. I wouldn't recommend this movie unless you've got some friends who like to MST3K movies. It's probably perfect for that.
