As the mother of an 8-year-old, I've watched a lot of bad animated movies in the past 18 months of the pandemic. This is easily the worst I have ever had to sit through.
The animation is worse than you get on cheaply-produced half-hour tv shows; the plotline is alternately incomprehensible and stupid; half of it seemed like just borrowed tropes from other, more successful films that were shoehorned together; and the editing is just bizarre.
In almost all the scenes, the animals are walking abnormally slowly - you end up feeling like the production guys said "Guys. This thing is only 72 minutes but we promised the distribution company we'd get them at least 115 minutes of content. You gotta add 40 minutes, stat!" There are weird, lengthy reaction shots (seriously, there is nothing weirder than watching 10 whole seconds of reaction shots between badly-animated animals, especially when there's literally no reason).
Anyway, the next time your kid asks you to watch a movie with them, I promise that watching Frozen II for the 11th time will be better than even 10 minutes of this disaster.
