>Genndyfags seething and not explaining why they like the movie
Honestly I'm kind of torn about the stuff that isn't the animation. The direction's not quite as strong as other Genndy cartoons and the story is... well, I'm undecided. On one hand it feels like the substance and themes of a Disney film in an R-rated sex comedy, on the other hand I do feel like there's SOMETHING there in terms of characterization and ideas that's more observant & honest than what you normally see in a Disney film. At first similar ideas to Primal in terms of pure instinct trumping all, but then interestingly enough subverted with "your balls aren't REALLY what makes you special" & the idea of ultimately accepting domestication. It's kind of the anti-Primal in a way. The way Bull became a castrated family man while Honey gets to go out & watch bear strip shows. Lucky's masochism. It's not a GREAT screenplay and you fan feel the questionable influence of the Simpsons writer but I'd say there's more interesting stuff in there than usual nonetheless, making it above average.
But I also think really good expressive animation can make something good & worth watching the same way acting can elevate a movie or delivery can elevate a joke. And god damn the visuals are legitimately something special and get across so much character.
