Rally Road Racers

First time I saw the trailer of this movie, I wasn't really excited. But, I watch alot of movies in the cinema you know, just for the better experience. However, I watched the movie and... It was an amazing movie, the references are amazing. Including the hit song "Take on me" by A-ha released in 1985. I definitely would watch this movie again, the story is good, aswell as the animation. I recommend you to watch it if you haven't, it's a really good movie. Good movies don't have to have AMAZING animation to be good. Just remember that... Next up: Cats in the museum... Probably not gonna be good, but that isn't stopping me from watching it. I think..

I hadn't heard about this 2023 animated movie titled "Rally Road Racers" prior to stumbling upon it by random chance. And thus, I opted to sit down and watch it with my son, whom happen to like most things with fast cars. The storyline in "Rally Road Racers", as written by Ross Venokur, was pretty straight forward. It was an okay enjoyable enough storyline, given its simplicity. But of course, with it being an animated movie for children, then the storyline didn't really need to be multi-layered or overly elaborate. The character gallery in "Rally Road Racers" was a fun and colorful one. However, there didn't really strike me to be any particular character that stood out, and I doubt that I will even remember them come next week. But at least they entertained my son well enough. With "Rally Road Racers" being an animated movie, then having a talented voice acting ensemble is fairly important. And they did have that for this 2023 animated movie, with the likes of J. K. Simmons, Jimmy O. Yang, John Cleese, Lisa Lu and others. SO you were in fairly capable hands here. Something that really worked in favor of "Rally Road Racers" was the art style and animation. I liked the way they presented the characters and the world around them, lots of nice details and unique things to take in. And the animation was good, smooth and rather dynamic. Easily watchable for a single viewing, for me as an adult, but "Rally Road Racers" definitely should have some repeated viewing value to it for the younger audience. My rating of director Ross Venour's 2023 animated movie "Rally Road Racers" lands on a six out of ten stars.

I have recently watched this movie at the SCERA movie theater in Orem Utah and while I enjoyed the race scene. Unfortunately, the story was vague and rushed. It's about Zhi a Loris cartoon animal who races his whole life in a quiet Chinese small village and he meets a girlfriend named Shelby who they later get together on a date. One day the Frog mafia gang including rude frog Archie Vainglorious who's a greedy businessman and a cheater in race car driving comes it to bulldozer the entire village except for Zhi's house and his grandmother is on the eviction notice and Zhi has to get the debt paid off in 10 days. Later on Zhi meets with a famous racer Goat named Gnash who tries to help him overcome distractions while being in first place since he crashes his car. Then when the race arrives Zhi struggles to get 2 first place in 2 days. But on the third day after using a nitrogen booster for his monster truck they get first place and both Zhi and Gnasher argue and forget to cool down the engines they explode and they're out of the race for the night. But then Zhi's grandmother talks sense into Gnasher and Zhi and they get a race car replacement and they race head on and they get first place and Zhi's village is saved. While I liked the race car driving, I was a little disappointed in the rushed story because the animators didn't spend enough screen time on Zhi and his girlfriend he's dating. I would've like to know a little more on the villagers he's living with. Also, there wasn't very much jokes even though the CGI film was bright and colorful. I liked that 2D pencil drawing sequence with the 1980s song "Take Me On" I'm wondering if it's a rushed scene, it reminds me of The Thief and the Cobbler 1992 with unfinished pencil drawings. I'm wondering if the animators ran out of production time and used the 2D animated unfinished pencil scene, anyways I wish there was more funny jokes in the film. This CGI 2023 movie reminds me of Pixar Cars 2006 film and also reminded me of Pororo's Racing Adventure 2013 which also had cartoon animals racing in rocket bobsleds but it had a much better story. Anyways, this movie is mostly a forgotten CGI film just like with Rock Dog, Artic Dogs, Uglydolls films. This is a film that families with kids can watch and no swearing even though there's some fist fighting scenes and a Seahorse dad pregnant with babies. Sadly, this film will be overshadowed by Super Mario Bros 2023 reboot movie and Puss In Boots the Last Wish or Pixars Elemental. If you want to see it, you may have to wait until it comes out on DVD or streaming or digital downloads.
