... I had no words to say about Spark: A Space Tail.
2017 was a relatively horrible year for animation. Sure, there were gems such as Coco and indie favourites such as The Breadwinner, Loving Vincent and A Silent Voice, but there were a proportionally high number of bad animated movies to good animated movies that year.
If not for The Emoji Movie, I would have happily declare this as my worst animated movie of 2017. Here is why:
1. Very bad CGI in the movie. Animation is a pretty important part of every animated movie and this one sucked really hard. 2. The characters felt pointless and generic. Not even Spark himself had some unique personality that I can back on. 3. The story is just a blatant rip-off of so many movies, both animated and live-action. Ratchet and Clank, The Star Wars and so on, even Journey to the West. 4. The "soundtrack". Oh, don;t get me started on the soundtrack. While the animated movie soundtracks that year are pretty decent, this soundtrack is just plain awful and most "songs" are outright terrible and unrelated to the scenes that uses those "songs". It just makes the movie experience even worse (thankfully, this movie was not released in Singapore at that time, so I had to watch it online).
I had no good things to say about Spark, no matter how hard I tried. Avoid this animated cringefest at all cost, even if it is just for a bad animated movie night.
