This latest Dreamworks flick has quite the mixture of mediums. I don't much care for the "default" CGI, as the human characters are stylized in a not very pleasing way. However, the CGI models on the various supernatural entities look very pleasing - pretty sure there are 2D effects in some of them - and occasionally the movie pivots to 2D animation. Some transitions are downright avante garde.
The main character would be boring if not for the fact that he's written in a very obsessive way, and qith plenty of actual, genuine nihilism. I don't know if he's meant to be neurodivergent, but I do feel seen.
Overall a colourful, entertaining flick.
