Having always been an avid fan of this series, I was a bit disappointed when the film adaptation didn't make it to theaters, but seeing the result, I can understand why. It isn't that it is bad in anyway, it's just not the strongest the film could have been, which is a bit disappointing considering its the end of the series. However, through some magic on the sweet side of things, the film can be quite charming, providing a decent amount of chuckles throughout, as well as quite heartwarming with an ending that truly wraps things up quite nicely. Some moments of the film can be a bit predictable, a bit familiar, and even a bit cringy. There things you have seen countless times before in films of similar plot and nature, and I just wish that throughout the process of making it they could have found a way to be a bit more original. The film also has a very different feel from the series itself, with the original tv show being rather lighthearted fun, never anything too deep. The film however seems to almost be going for a social commentary kind of approach, which I mean does fit given the films circumstances, but feels a bit out of place in the whole scheme of things. In the end, I enjoyed this film. It wasn't great, and certainly not the best film adaptation of a cartoon i have seen, but more often than not I enjoyed myself, and it left me with a smile on my face.
My Rating: 5.5/10.
