I really appreciate movies that take the time to make the story stop motion. You always seem to end up with more stylised characters and environments, and that's what you get with this movie. The designs for some of the characters are not easy on the eyes to say the least, and that's not a criticism! It goes really well with the tone of the film.
My favourite part was probably getting to see Jordan Peele as Wild. His character design is clearly based on his own features, and his little demon figure is pretty cute and funny.
The story seemed a little all over the place. There was a lot going on but it felt a lot longer than it needed to be to get to the outcome at the end. Kat was a nicely designed character and you get to see a lot of the reasons why she is the way she is, but even though the film felt like it went on for so long and she is the main girl, it still didn't feel like you got to 'know' her that much at the same time; sometimes it felt a little hard to get past her angsty side, which I think might've been the way to feeling more connected to her if they focused a little bit more on her in that sense.
I really did think this was going to be one of my favourite films, but it fell a little flat for me. But at the same time I don't think it's a bad movie by any stretch of the means; it's good to look at, it's funny, and goes into great real-world topics that I don't think I've really seen other movies go into before. So even if it fell a little flat for me, I'd still recommend you watch it.
