Lemme start by saying I'm a huge fan of Jared Hess. I love all his work. I was excited to learn he was directing an animated movie as I love the Napoleon Dynamite animated series. The music, the original songs were surprisingly fantastic. I was shocked that every single song was great which is rare for an animated musical. Brittany Howard has a perfect voice for Thelma. The plot and pacing was strong, with good character development without ever feeling boring and the theme carries a powerful feel good message This movie features voice acting from many of Hess' past stars like Zach Galifianakis, Will Forte, Jemaine Clement, and John Heder, all of who add a nostalgic touch to the film. Clement's Vic Diamond was hilarious and reminded me of the Colonel from Baz Lurhman's Elvis. Conclusion, this movie was a refreshing and unique entry into the streaming world and I really enjoyed it. It's funny and entertaining for kids and adults alike, and I hope you get to watch it. Thanks for reading.
