Wonder Park is a fun, innocent, animated film for kids that still manages to be heartfelt. This movie is about a young girl, June, whose amusement park from her imagination comes to life. Brianna Denski gives a good voice performance. She did a good job with a few key emotional moments. Ken Hudson Campbell, Kenan Thompson, John Oliver, and Ken Jeong all give fine voice performances but did not have any standout moments. Mila Kunis gives an okay voice performance, but I could not hear her voice and it took me out of the movie. Norbert Leo Butz gives an average voice performance but he still gets a couple of moments. Jennifer Garner gives a great voice performance in a small supporting role. She was the emotional core of the movie and was well developed. Matthew Broderick is fun, but a pointless addition in practically a cameo role. This movie has no director attached due to behind the scenes controversy. The direction itself is fine, though the action scenes are not much more than visual noise for older audiences. The script could have used some work in the humor department, but nails the emotional core of the story. Also, there is a message that is good for all ages to hear. The animation is beautiful and easily the best aspect of the movie. There are multiple shots that are truly stunning to look at and the movie has its own unique visual style. At 85 minutes this is a very short movie that really does not stop moving. While some scenes may be boring for adults, kids should stay entertained throughout. Overall, Wonder Park is an average kids film with a strong emotional element and a good message for all ages.
6/10
