The animated “Smallfoot” is full of big ideas: Question authority. Question religion. Think for yourself. Don’t accept the status quo. If only its visuals and dialogue were so ambitious. Channing Tatum, Common, James Corden and Zendaya are among the starry voice cast in this musical comedy in which yetis and humans each find the other isn’t so scary after all. It’s lively, but the look of the film is bland. My mixed review, at RogerEbert.com.
We are so happy you are continuing. Don’t know what we would do without a weekly review from you guys. Thank you.
Beneath the easy slapstick, there’s a timely moral too: Don’t fear the unknown, embrace it. Just try not to squish it.
