It’s not just Ollie and Ivy that are doing a swap. It’s time to switch things up by talking a look at Netflix and Skydance Animation’s next animated movie, Swapped. In this review, I’ll be experiencing the Valley and discover the magic that can be found with these animal/plant hybrids. However, beyond its visual wonder, there’s not much it offers other than being an uninspired rip-off of Disney’s Freaky Friday.

When are people going to realize that being done before doesn’t always make it a ripoff? A lot of movies and shows have done body swap premise it’s not just something relegated to Disney

(Sees ending) Yes, YES, YEESSS!!!! I’m glad you used one of my ideas for the new ratings reveal. I was wondering if you were listening. And the new ending for the review definitely looks good. So I’m definitely happy to have been of help. ☺️

As for my brief thoughts on this film, what a shame such an imaginative world and creatures are wasted in this mediocre animated film. If there’s something I dislike more than good animation being wasted in a mediocre or bad animated film, it’s creative ideas being wasted in a mediocre or bad animated film. And of course, asides from the cliches this film uses, the most cliched one is the twist villain, and considering how it shares the same similar flaws as the twist villains from the Disney animated films of the last decade like Yokai, Bellweather and Evelyn Deavor, I’m not surprised that was something John Lasseter added. He just loves his twist villains, doesn’t he? This film is just proof that the latter really isn’t the guy responsible for Pixar’s success as his toxic supporters claim he is and that it truly was the combination of better directors and writers like Andrew Stanton, Pete Doctor, Lee Unkrich, Brad Bird and the late Joe Ranft that made Pixar successful.

While I don't think this will be my favourite animated film of the year, I do consider it an improvement from Skydance Animation's last few films. Maybe not by much, but still. There are a few things that I do like, like the animation, the worldbuilding and the first few minutes, but I don't think the script did much good, and I find one character to be a little too willing to help the protagonists. Like with the last few films, I do believe it could've been better if John Lasseter hadn't been such a control freak. Though I wish it had kept its original title, Pookoo. Not just because it's catchier, but I also find the new title to be a little misleading since I won't say the characters really swapped bodies, but more like they changed their species. If they can't keep Pookoo, then I think maybe they should call it something like Changed instead. Sure, that may be a bit more generic, but I don't find it as misleading and can even have a bit of a double meaning when you think about it. Also, I think I'm going to miss the old format of the review scoring, but this new one is pretty cool, especially with the curtains.

For the ending, the only thing I would change is have the curtains open up to the poster with the score instead of opening the curtains to reveal the score and then cut to the poster and score. It would flow a bit better in my opinion

Skydance continues to remind me of those diet Disney knock offs in the 90s like Quest for Camalot.

Hugo Segal

Sounds like he has been!

To be honest, this movie is just fine and not as bad as either Luck or Spellbound from Skydance Animation. I feel like there was more potential and some decency moments here and there that could’ve been a good movie but if it weren’t for the story and writing which all it does just copying Freaky Friday or better body swapped episodes, then it could’ve been their best work they’ve done so far. The animation, score, world building, voice acting and it message were the best thing to come out from this movie and saved from it the weak story, writing, characters, and humor it had. Not the worst thing to come out from Skydance Animation overall, but it was alright at best. At least it ain’t Animal Farm in comparison.

In that case, it might’ve been your comment that inspired the new ending. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction, or even I finally got it right with this update to my scoring formula.
