Smallfoot Reviews

I wasn’t expecting much from this movie but, somehow, I still ended up watching it. Well, to be honest, I really had a hard time to care about the damned thing. First of all, the whole concept of ‘What if the Yeti did really exist and was actually afraid of us? ‘ was hardly original and didn’t excite me much. To make things worse, the beginning scene was borderline cringe-inducing to behold and, for a while, I was thinking that the damned thing might turn out to be actually seriously dreadful. Fortunately, from the moment Percy started to sing an hilarious version of ‘Under Pressure’ (pretty much the only song I did like eventually), it seemed that there might be some hope after all. Indeed, as long as the movie focused on the new relationship between Migo and Percy, it was actually fairly entertaining and I did appreciate the fact that they couldn’t understand each other which was quite refreshing. Unfortunately, as soon as they got back to Migo’s village, Percy suddenly grew a conscience and, above all, they didn’t further develop their relationship which was the only thing which was slightly worthwhile. Instead, the whole plot went completely on auto-pilot until the end and it was all pretty tedious, I'm afraid. Anyway, to conclude, even though the whole thing was rather harmless, except if you have some young kids to entertain, I would advise you to skip it, even if you have a weak spot for such animated features like I do.
