I am Asian -American and am the biggest Disney nerd out there. When I found out about this film a year ago that it was going to be based in Asian culture...I couldn't be more excited.
But...what? I could t have been more unimpressed by a movie. This might be my least favorite animated film of this new post-2010 era.
The movie and story are EXTREMELY lacking, compared to past Disney stories. Everything was lackluster and I feel like the creators became lazy throughout on effort/editing/budget/time/effort.
So many scenes were rushed and underdeveloped. It's like they skipped so much buildup.
Examples:
The players reach a new town. Wow! Looks beautiful and cool! Oh...after fifteen minutes and not much climax we're already leaving? Uh...okay....
A character perishes or dies. Oh no! This is awful!!! ....wait...the other characters are barely reacting? Oh...okay...
And the plot and character actions were confusing and didn't make sense. Why did that dragon do this? Why did that villain do that? I preferred other Disney movies prior to this.
And the themes. The themes were stated many times. But just not portrayed...successfully or convincingly. I didn't really come out that affected. A little bit, but I could have been more.
I wish they actually made our film on Asian representation good, but instead, we got a pretty half-efforted film that makes Cars 2 and Frozen look like masterpieces....okay, maybe not Cars 2. That's an exaggeration.
