🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film adaptation constructs its universe at the intersection of naive theatrical performance and psychedelic fantasy. Director Hollis Alpert relies on garish, almost acid-colored sets, puppet characters, and energetic musical numbers to create the feel of a live, if rough-edged, stage show.

Those who tire of polished CGI will find a bizarre carnival straight out of the late '60s, where evil is comical and absurd, and friendship wins without pretension. What lingers after is the impression of a sincere, if deeply odd, celebration for the undemanding—or the nostalgic. — MovieFinder Editorial

Watch by day with kids, as a bright and slightly unhinged musical.
