Netflix's Muppet Movie Rip-Off | Arlo the Alligator Boy Review

It wants to be a pilot, it wants to be The Muppet Movie, it wants to be The Amazing World of Gumball, it wants to be SpongeBob SquarePants, but can it be its own movie?

That thumbnail looked great, it pretty much sums up of this entire film as this film tries to be not a pilot movie, but trying to be like the Muppet Movie, Regular Show, and SpongeBob Squarepants for example. I seen it too and yeah it not really great either, probably be the weakest release to come out of Netflix in terms of it own original movies like Klaus for example so far. Since it not bad thanks to animation, voice acting, and songs, I would give it an average rating like a 6/10. Not sure if I’m willing to watch the upcoming show, but I’ll give it a wait and see. Can’t wait for the Mitchells Vs. The Machines review to come out!

I have to say that thumbnail is actually pretty funny. While I haven’t seen the movie yet and might consider giving it a watch to give my own personal opinion on it, I can see where you’re coming from with this review. I actually do see a lot of resemblance to Arlo almost feeling like Spongebob. I will say though I might consider watching this if I do consider watching the series in the future. One thing I also have to say on a side note is that Netflix is going to be extremely busy when it comes to releasing animated movies this year. Also I am wondering are you only going to review certain animated movies being released on Netflix this year considering they have a whole bunch for this year like do you plan on only reviewing some of the big ones coming out like The Loud House Movie or Trollhunters Rise Of The Titans?

I love the thumbnail! It perfectly sums up how its plot tries to be like several shows and movies that came before it. As a pilot to a show, I agree that it’s a good start.

Ok, what is it with most shows or films, live-action or animated, that always picks New York has the big city where most of the events happen? Can we have a different major city as a setting like Chicago or Los Angeles?

I’ve been trying to figure out what this movie reminded me of and it wasn’t until just now that it finally hit me, this entire movie is literally the plot of Elf, the main character is a naive goofball who finds out he’s adopted and sets out to New York City to find his father only to find out that his father isn’t the person he thinks he is and in the end learns to except himself for who he is and spreading joy to other people and his father. It’s been bugging me for so long so I’m glad I was finally able to figure it out. Aside from that though I would say that the soundtrack is probably the best part of this movie, I even downloaded it after watching it. Not a great movie but I wouldn’t say that it’s bad either.

Hey Animat, why don’t you make reviews of the Netflix movie that you you had on your top 5 best and worst animated film of 2020 video.

If you’re talking about movies like Over The Moon, Klaus, and The Willoughby’s he said he was going to save those for Animats Classic Reviews

The comment above saying its like Elf is mighty spot on. Not in quality obviously but in general structure. It's alright.
