Logic? What is that?

[@Kamina.D.Fierce]

*MIC DROP

[@redsquirrelstudio6018]

They spent more time in R&D than on the actual film to be honest, which is why Lion King was so expensive to make. Klaus and Joker have shown us anything is possible on a low budget and you still get quality films that are actually up there with some of the best films of all time!

[@KrugerBabadook]

This could just be a me thing, but I'm actually really glad that they kept the Alva/Jesper thing as a _subplot,_ like such things should be. It didn't get in the way of the main story. And I think that's nother reason people find it so refreshing, because we don't have a huge romance plot thrown into our faces. Also, just saying, the little Sàami girl's name is Màrgu and she has NO business being that cute.

[@crispykett]

YES I totally agree! It was really refreshing not to have the romance shoved in our faces

[@maximsavage]

Agreed, on both points.

[@Luna31420]

I feel like the romance, subtle as it was, wasn't necessary. It didn't add anything to the movie :/

[@maximsavage]

@@Luna31420 It gave the postman more reason to stay.

[@crispykett]

Luna31420 honestly I agree, I personally didn’t feel romantic chemistry between them. Up to the point where they showed Alva sleeping on Jesper I thought they were and were going to stay friends to the end. So it came as quite the shock, but I do appreciate they didn’t force it throughout the movie yknow? Also I Guess it gave Jesper more of a reason to stay? Yknow settle down, have kids etc. :’))

So basically Disney became the very thing they swore to destory (kinda not really tho)

[@rahn45]

Although it's an old trope, the lie that breaks a relationship is one that kinda needs to exist always as a warning to those to not make that same mistake. Though many people roll their eyes and go "here we go again" do they themselves hold to that standard? Probably not. We tell lies to our friends and family all the time, and some people never clue in that lying ends up causing pain down the road and ruining trust. Sure I'm tired of that cliched plotline as anyone else, but I enjoyed this take on it: The protagonist didn't need someone to rush in and tell them that they're making a mistake, he came to that conclusion on his own; making him one of the few people who've gone through this trope to do so. Not to mention the whole getting a hug from his father instead of how that trope typically normally goes with a hard rejection of the old life.

[@TheDunnDusted]

No, you're right. That sequence when the liar is revealed is incredibly dated. That was five minutes of the film dedicated to something we knew would easily be overcome. They could have easily scrapped it from the script and instead spend more time on Alva and Jespers romance, which I felt could have had more time. It's a pity, the film had me glued until the moment he started doubting if he returns. There, I literally paused, looked it up on wiki and read ahead to find, lo and behold, liar revealed. But thankfully it returned to form when the kids woke up to toys and we got the bittersweet end.

[@FlyingFocs]

The one thing I do like about the liar revealed here is that they seem to know it's dated and get it over with quickly. Which I thought was weird at first, but then I remembered "oh right, he came back and tried to save a decoy which he wouldn't know about." And actions speak louder than words. But overall, while I may not like the trope, the rest of the movie is good enough that I can look past it.

[@connorschultz380]

I feel like it was done to excuse the 'I'm not talking to you' moments when there in the slay chase. What's really happening is our main character just messed up a very simple plan and that's why Klaus is mad with him, but you don't know that the first time you 'think' he's upset about the lie, when really he wasn't. That's why I think they kept it in

[@DragonLovingGirl6]

Honestly, I'm not criticizing Netflix too much for greenlighting so many things. On one hand, a high risk gone right can yield high rewards. Two, many new creators and passion projects get a chance they might not have gotten at a big company/studio, giving directors, animators, actors, etc. a chance to make a name and create something to get on their feet. And even if the movie/series flops, they now have experience and can learn from that. And three, they can offer something new. No offense, but Disney and now also Dreamworks are playing it so safe that it's getting boring. The last big studio film I felt excited watching was 'How to train your dragon 3'...and before that, it was the 2nd movie in that series. ('Smallfoot' was actually a pleasant surprise for me, a theme I was hoping to see from the premise but I thought they would gloss over entirely, was addressed almost perfectly to my tastes. And then there were other themes I was NOT expecting at all and completely blew me away.) So I want these stories that do new things with old ideas. Movies that play their cards differently and think of new ways to advert expectations. Of course, Netflix has safe players too, but other projects, that major studios wouldn't touch because of the risk involved, can also find a place here.
