FILM: The Nut Job 2 - Nutty By Nature (dir: Cal Brunker, 2017)

"This doesn't look good."
"Why don't you just sing a song about it?"

For the most part, The Nut Job 2 is a fairly average mid-range children's animation with a typical 'cute furry animals' habitat in peril' and cast of fairly anonymous creatures.  Occasionally, there are bouts of manic energy that show off some good animation, and flashes of self-awareness through nods to classic WB cartoon shorts tropes and even anime, as well as skewering its own genre, but this a mostly a pedestrian and familiar affair.
