May be this movie is not for an adult. First few minutes in to the movie, you can easily predict what you are going to watch for next 90 minutes. "An underdog" written all over it. You might have watched 1000 other similar stories.
Was watching it with my kids (3 & 9 years old) and both enjoyed it. My 3 y.o was glued to the characters.

I am a harsh critic when it comes to 3D animation; I've long held the opinion that it's garbage. But I have to say, there's some real talent that worked on this picture. The models are adorable, the animation is fluid, the lip synchronization is spot on, and the facial expressions and body language are next level! I hope if Disney ever makes a Zootopia 2, that these people are working on it. Congrats! The artists definitely need a bigger budget on their next project.
The voice acting is marvelous. The story has the right amount of depth. The pacing left me engaged. Everything was going so well, up until the point of climax. And then... I don't know, the movies just got dumb. The dude throws a tiny torch at a giant lava sculpture, it catches fire and destroys the stadium? Nothing makes sense anymore. Physics goes out the window. Ridiculous anarchy ensues. It's one big fever dream and then we wake up in the hospital.
Did Daisy dream the whole thing up? We may never know.
Shame on the director.

Seriously, seriously bad if you expect any kind of actual story other than sickeningly sweet expressions and random scenes that don't make sense. The animation for some parts is not bad hence the 3 stars.

Daisy Quokka is a simple film when you get to the nitty-gritty of it. A quokka named Daisy sets out to prove herself on the world stage (in this case, an American Ninja Warrior style animal Olympics), while also trying to rejuvenate her down-on-his-luck idol, Frankie Scales (voiced by Sam Neil), who is one of the best parts of this mediocre film. Pretty simple stuff for a kids movie, with a cliched message of "always follow your dreams and never give up" to boot.
While the writing does leave things to be desired (be prepared for 2 major info dumps in the first 30 minutes or so), the animation is remarkable for a independent studio, and the voice talent does do a pretty good job carrying this movie
Sure it's cliched, and sure it's less than what you'd find from your average Disney or Dreamworks motion picture. But for a kids movie, and a independent one on that? Not a half bad way to waste 88 minutes with your kids. There's worse out there, that's for sure.
