Smallfoot Review

Smallfoot is a fun innocent kid’s film for all ages. This movie is about a Yeti who is convinced that a mythical creature known as a small foot, a.k.a. humans, exist and goes on a quest to prove it. Channing Tatum gives a great performance voicing our lead. James Corden also gives a fantastic vocal performance. Zendaya gives a good performance in a supporting role. Common is a lot of fun voicing the Yeti leader. Yara Shahidi, Ely Henry, and Jimmy Tatro all give decent performances in their smaller roles. Karey Kirkpatrick and Jason Reisig did an okay job directing. There is nothing unique about it, but they did not do anything wrong either. The animation, while never stunning, is still quite good. The script is serviceable with likable characters and a few funny moments. There are five musical numbers with varying quality throughout the film. The opening number and Common’s rap are easily the highlights. At 96 minutes the movie moves at an okay pace. The first act was a little too slow, but it picked up in the second act. Overall Smallfoot is targeted towards younger kids, but I still had a fun time.
