FILM: Small Foot 3D (dirs: Karey Kirkpatrick and Joe Reiser, 2018)

"Never seen that before!"

Warner Animation delivers an utterly charming and very enjoyable animation with Small Foot, which is imbued with an enthusiastic daftness and real warmth of character.  The semi-musical form works well - the songs are very good - and the film manages to be not only funny but also a rather thoughtful political and social allegory.  Characters are established quickly and effectively, and the voice cast is great, led by a very funny Channing Tatum and James Corden delivering well as Migo the adventurous Yeti and Percy the TV naturalist respectively.  Animation is very strong, with lighting, use of colour and depth of 3D all excellent.  With big ticks in just about every box, Small Foot is definitely one of the stronger children's animations of recent times.
