Full with great action scenes and funny moments
First of all, this was a great movie though some of the character designs were questionably bad, especially the Justice League members (except Superman).
The animation style was great, hence both the animation and audio quality were outstanding. Great song choices and the scores were not bad either.
The storyline was straightforward and was executed perfectly. Great pacing. The targetted audience was young children, hence was no need to take it too seriously.
I found the voice castings weird at the beginning, but they grew on me. I didn't expect both the mid-credit scene and the end-credit scene. Both were cute and set up for a possible sequel.
Highly recommended. - GiraffeDoor - 21 September 2023
What you'd expect.
They could have just called it "Super-Pets", that rolls nicely off the tongue but I suppose it does sound a bit like another conveyer belt animation before the credibility of DC is added.
The theme is obsessive love here as we examine a protagonist who agonizes over losing his best friend, a deuteragonist who has been hurt one too many times and an Antagonist who is devoted to the wrong person.
It's all fairly well thought through, except maybe a few coincidences that move the plot along. The animals are engaging and the Justice League is there too but sort of on the side. Our Green Lantern seems like a deliberate filling of a diversity quota (it takes nothing from the movie, it's just very deliberate) and I love grouchy funny Batman.
But you won't change my mind that an impressive Aquaman is just off-brand.
The Sitcom friendship of Clark and Krypro is geniune and poignant. While I'm a little bemused at how over powered the antagonist really is, it's a treat to watch with all the super-powered furry friends.
And while I am a cat person: I hate those kittens!
I felt the end was a bit contrived (you'll see what I mean) but it all works.
