So i was in the cinema with my little niece (6) and after the first half she said ok im done that’s boring so we left the cinema and so did a few of the already little audience. The underwater scenes were SO DARK that you can’t actually see what’s going on sometimes, it is pretty boring and dont look like underwater, more like mermaids floating around in the space lol. Under the sea was the only thing i liked a lot bc there was some colour and life. I think when we left things were getting better bc Ariel goes to the castle and the story flows a little quicker, but i guess i will have to wait for D+
In conclusion, I think it is neither very childish nor very adult, and that is the main problem. The oposite that SMB achieved, being funny for everyone, this is boring for everyone. Of course racism is a real thing too, but i think that’s not the main issue for this to fail at least overseas.
