So What’s The Story?

Smallfoot tells the story of yeti Migo in his village high in the mountains where no one is allowed to be creative or have any questions, or discoveries of any kind. That’s the way it is until Migo finds the legendary Smallfoot a species said to not exist in their culture, but Migo longs to prove his sightings, and is determined to bring him back to his people.

Is It Worth Your While?

Smallfoot was actually much better than I expected, and much more clever. Now here are my reasons. First of all I thought that directing by Karey Kirkpatrick was positively brilliant. He made a silly story much more intelligent, and entertaining then I could ever imagine. I mean you would expect a topic for a movie like that would be completely off the hook corny, and cheesy, but he manages to capture wonder music, and fun that I almost have never seen in a movie. Next I thought that the music was downright incredible. I mean compared to music like Frozen’s it just feels like something I would listen to a multiple amount of times whereas Frozen’s soundtrack can get really annoying when heard to a million times, and I have a little sister so trust me when I say this. Next I thought that the animation was also very surprising, and when I saw that it costed 100 million to do it I was like there is no way that this is going to be worth it, but then it was. It’s colorful, and bright, and is overall such a beautiful visual experience for audiences of all ages. Overall I thought that not only was it such a visual delight, but also a brilliant musical with awesome directing, and a solid storyline for all ages to enjoy.

How Was the Cast

The cast in Smallfoot did an absolute amazing job in such a strikingly good animated feature. First we have Channing Tatum as Migo. I thought that he was pretty much perfect for the role. He had surprisingly an amazing singing voice, and obviously a pure sense of fun, and it seemed as though he had a great time acting in the film. Next we have James Corden as Percy. He always seems to brighten up my day whenever he is in a movie. He’s funny, and warming to the heart at the same time, and he is one of the great comedic actors that can really drag you into the movie, and I loved the chemistry between his character, and Migo. Third we have Zendaya as Meechee. I loved watching her perform in 2017’s The Greatest Showman, and to see what an amazing voice she has, and she obviously did an amazing job at that for this movie. Fourth, and finally we have Common as The Stonekeeper. All I know is that he is a rapper, and all I know is that he did a great job in playing this role. He had a cool rap song during it, and seemed to fit the role of a darker character during the movie, and even though his character becomes good in the end. He still reminds me of the people who want to rid the world of curiosity, and discovery.

Aging ‘The Yeti’

The film is pretty much harmless to kids. There is dazzling animation, a fun adventure, and tons of laughter throughout the movie, and a positive message for adults, and children. There are some brief disturbing images on cave walls of yeti’s being tortured, but it’s not that bad. Overall I recommend this film to all ages because I think everyone should see this.
