I really look forward to the moral values and deeper meaning behind the films I watch, however I felt the film lacked in this area. Basically what you've seen in the trailer. The film's writing is reminiscent of Turning Red (2022), with a lot of parallels in the storyline such as: family lineage (females of the family turning into krakens), controlling the transformation by remaining calm, hiding the truth from the main character till they learn for themselves etc., with some slight variation. This is mostly due to the 2-dimensionality of the secondary characters, but generally audiences, especially children, will not care/notice and will laugh at their antics. Characters were less relatable than characters of other other films, but still goofy and fun-loving. The score has some epic and heavy "hits/boojs" that rumble the theater, so it's got an immersive aspect to it. The soundtrack is upbeat and chipper, with some more modern music. Some "out of this world" character designs make the film more stand out a bit, but does not add to character memorability. The film's animation was fairly good, on par with other animations of the last few years.
The film was at best comparable to Spies in Disguise (2019), Abominable (2019), or Ron's Gone Wrong (2021) (comparable to these films in the following categories:). The film's story/plot was lower tier for a Dreamworks Animation movie, but overall the film was decent.
