Crappy internationally co-produced animation, ahoy.

It's all amiably silly and definitely an option for half-term.

Surely there is a species of monkey somewhere far, far away who are all banging randomly on typewriters and yet have managed, somehow, to come up with a better script than this derivative piece of space junk.

Honestly, this movie was absolutely painful. Not because it was frustratingly terrible, but because of how this was such a wasted opportunity.

Rated: 4/10

Unfortunately the punny title may be the best thing about Spark: A Space Tail.

I was hoping I would enjoy it like I enjoyed Ratchet and Clank (yep, I liked that film). Unfortunately it was not to be.

I liked it and more importantly my kids liked it. No singing every 7 minutes like in a usual Disney fare but lots of adventure. In fact there is zero singing which makes it great! It's not rocket science just a nice entertaining ride. While mildly entertaining for adults the kids love it and watch every single minute of it.

I’m late to this party admittedly. Another piece of work giving an unfair deal by critics not understanding their role in life. As a parent with young kids who really enjoyed the movie I know this movie isn’t the 1-2 star trash so many reviewers felt the need to rate it. Guess what reviewers? I don’t care if you as an adult, possibly without kids or not watching with them, think a family movie is good or not. If a family movie is enjoyable for my kids and possibly makes them a better person then it’s a 4 star at least and worth watching.

An very generic sci-fi animated movie with mediocre animation and voice acting

This is one rare find I found when searching for new movies. Spark: A Space Tail is just a moderate movie to watch. It's not perfect like Zootopia or as great as The Bad Guys. It's just ok. At least one of the real reasons why I wanted to watch that movie is because of that fox girl named Vix I liked the premise of having a Sun Wukong in a space story. The story did not have an absolute tall tale to experience it. As interesting as it sounds having Jason Norman who also played Henry Danger in his starring role in the movie was really good. As for the movie, most of it is ok. The villain in the movie was just another goofball villain with an anticlimactic boss battle Zhong considering the fact obviously it was a show that felt out of budget just like the combat fighting scene. I expected to have this movie to a ton of martial arts in space but this movie did not meet expectations. I hope they make a sequel with the martial arts added.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
