Finally saw the Mario Galaxy Movie. Agree with the majority of reviews. + high animation quality and backgrounds were beautiful - no time to really look at them, scenes lasted too short + voice cast did a great job, enjoyed most of the performances - stakes were all over the place

Most of the movie is very light on substance, and there were a couple of moments where I thought, "wait, how did they get here?" or things just so happened to resolve themselves. Yes it's a kids movie, but the plot could've paid off some establishing shots or use more set up/punchline.

Like something happens to the dinosaur, and it looks like it's going to travel with them, they even make a joke about it...and then nothing. It never comes up again. Or when flying into the final area, there are tons of airships that are shown and then...never used.
