This was fun! A little long and it slows down hard after the excellent opening (not picking up again until the action starts), but hey, it's a traditionally-animated Looney Tunes film on the big screen! Remember when you could go to the movies and watch 2D cartoons with casts comprised almost entirely of actual voice actors? Not to say there aren't studios doing amazing things with CG animation these days, but we got a trailer for some kind of Toy…

Muppets Most Wanted 2014
Nice try, Muppet Diddy.
Disney lacked the chutzpah to actually call this "The Muppets Again", which is a much funnier title. Would probably be lower if the songs weren't as good, it's a bit sleepier and much less heartfelt than the previous film in the series. Few laughs, few fun cameos, a nice enough way to kill the remainder of my flight. Criminal how one of the biggest running gags in the movies is how obviously terrible Constantine's Kermit impression is, then they fired Steve Whitmire and replaced him with Matt Vogel and now that's unironically just what Kermit sounds like now.

The Road to El Dorado 2000
If you tried to make a character design like Chel nowadays they'd kill you.
Pacing is a little weird and the plot is very predictable, but I like the characters a lot. There's a lot of interesting choices, like I love how Chel enters the mix because she's ALSO a con artist. The scheming religious zealot has to find out on his own that Tulio and Miguel aren't gods, but then it's implied that the Chief kinda had them pinned…
