This film is bang average and screams of big corporations. The cameos, which are numerous, feel like they were decided by focus groups and executives sitting around tables working out what properties would get the most interactions on social media. This sometimes works, there is one scene with a few characters all of whom are played by the same actor that did make me chuckle but apart from that they almost all felt hollow to me.
The cast is fine, Andy Samberg and John Mulaney, while not the most inspired casting, are both good. I like Will Arnett no matter what he's in and KiKi Layne is decent even if her performance does feel very child oriented, like she's explaining things to a toddler. The effects though are surprisingly good for the most part. I suppose Roger Rabbit did the same thing in 1988 so it's not like they haven't had 34 years to work out any kinks but still, the effects are good and the integration of humans and animated characters is fairly seamless.
I'm sure kids would enjoy it but I struggle to see much that older viewers will get from it. Not good, not bad, just average.
