Space Jam without the 90s charm

Warning: Spoilers
I honestly don't know why I even watched this movie.

Probably I assumed that it would be something like Metegol (Not a great movie, but fun and with some nice animations) combined with Hotel Transylvania.

It wasn't anything like that. It wasn't even a fun movie. It was just bad.

The plot was kinda like Space Jam, with a villain stealing the talent of famous sportsmen to create mutants, or somehing like that.

Instead of aliens, there was Weird Al. Instead of Michael Jordan, there was a soccer player named Satan or something like that.

Instead of the Looney Tunes, there were a group of generic kids that seemed as characters from a Discovery kids show. One of them was very annoying. (I have no idea of why some modern writers seem to believe being obsessed with selfies is a personality trait.)

It honestly it felt like something made by an AI machine, with a story barely making sense and regurgitated elements from better movies. The animations is also kinda ugly looking.

At one point, the manbun of Satan gains sentience and turns into an evil monster.

The director, Mitch Schauer, actually worked on Space Jam, and also directed The Angry Beavers series, which was pretty good. Maybe the movie would have been much better if it had Norbert and Daggett instead of the generic kids.

Three points for the creative design of the manbun monster at the end, and for the performance of Weird Al.
