Movie NationRoger MooreDec 7, 2019
The animation’s not bad, the songs aren’t much, the jokes are even less. Tiny, tiny tykes might find something to like about it. But long-review-short here — it’s too dull to sit through, too noisy to sleep through. Read full review

This is a vastly inferior toy-to-film IP expansion, with duller songs, dumber jokes, and forgettable voice work. Read full review
