The film has all the ingredients for a thrilling ride—epic battles, lovable characters, and a vivid world—but it struggles to find its rhythm. The plot, while engaging, can feel a bit rushed at times, leaving little room for character development. The animation is, without a doubt, eye-catching, with bright colours and dynamic action sequences that keep you glued to the screen. However, the emotional stakes don't always hit home.
