How Rumble is Both Amazing and Terrible | A Smackdown Review

It's not every day when you find an animated film that can have some admirable work put into it and can also feel like garbage at the same time

I'll be honest, for the longest time I almost forgot this movie was going to be a thing, personally I really don’t have much interest in seeing this movie. This is one of those cases where if you have seen the trailer you've seen the movie. The story is so predictable and cliché you can easily know what’s going to happen, and the characters don’t really have much to them. Although I will give it credit that the animation is very well done and at least the film is a feast for the eyes. Overall, this movie might not be good, but it could of been much worse and it’s far from the worst animated film this year. Also I am really hoping in the future we can see Paramount Animation improve as an animation studio, they have so much potential and I honestly do believe they can make great animated features.

I was expecting this to be a more negative review, especially after your reaction from watching the trailer from one of your recent Crazy Cartoon Cast episodes. But I’m glad some elements like the performances and the animation and the heart kept this from getting the Seal of Garbage. At this point, I just have one question for Paramount Pictures: Is it even worth having Paramount Animation? With the exception of the SpongeBob films, their films like Sherlock Gnomes, Wonder Park and Monster Trucks were box-office and critical failures. I understand they wanted to have their slice of the mainstream animation studio pie like Illumination, Disney, Pixar, Sony Pictures Animation and Dreamworks and after Rango won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature , they saw their potential in having their own animation studio and making their own animated features. But to quote Ian Malcolm: “They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

Same here, Hunter. I’m happy this movie wasn’t that bad.

Honestly, I’m glad this movie is a lot better than you thought it would be. For how weak the story was, the animation and characters managed to keep it from getting the Seal of Garbage, where I thought it was heading, given your thoughts on the trailers on the podcast. I may have to check this out for myself someday.

This is surprisingly decent when I first watch this movie on Paramount+. I didn’t have any high hopes of course because of the very predictable story and weak writing as it is an underdog sports movie. What did surprise me is how entertaining this movie is along with a good humor. I think the animation looked amazing along with the great visuals, good voice acting and creative wrestling scenes too. Keep in mind that I’m not a wrestling fan nor watching any WWE matches as well despite a few I know of used to work for WWE before becoming famous actors themselves. Overall, this is one of the better animated films from Paramount Animation and I do like to see the studio improve especially with it promising projects like Under the Boardwalk and the Tiger’s Apprentice. As a WWE movie, I say it one of the better ones something like Fighting With My Family and not garbage movies like the collaboration with Hanna Barbera such as Jetsons and Scooby Doo or even with Sony Animation for Surf’s Up 2. It not one of the best animated films of the year that for sure but at least I find it okay.

The problem with Paramount Animation is that unlike the studios mentioned, they don't actually have an animation studio that they directly own. Even Rango wasn't made by Paramount. Nickelodeon is the closest thing to an animation studio that Paramount owns, but even then it's only because it's part of the corporate tree that is CBSViacom. At this point, Paramount Animation should pull a Disney and just buy out a studio, if they want to be taken seriously.

This is the kind of movie that might work better as an animated series. I wouldn't be surprised if the canned Wonder Park show's budget was moved over to make a Rumble series. Maybe the one good thing from the constant delays and move to Paramount+ would be that it avoids being a flop like Wonder Park was.
