John Lasseter was definitely not lucky on his return to animation with this movie

Oh boy this is a long time coming. Let’s see how this turns out. Edit: Well the was certainly lucky for one thing, but not gonna spoil the review.

I honestly had absolutely no interest in this movie because of obvious reasons and because I don’t have Apple TV+ and after this review, looks like I’m not missing much. The issue is that while the film has an interesting concept and some decent animation, because of the execution of the story and how it feels cliché and the characters being forgettable and one note, it just makes the movie suffer. What makes it even worse is John Lasseter’s involvement with the movie and how he is desperately trying to recapture his glory days at Disney, and how I feel that John's involvement just hurt the movie, and really I honestly have to agree that Skydance Animation is just better off without John Lasseter and he should honestly just retire because if they keep Lasseter around, it’s just going to make Skydance Animation suffer, and I do think Skydance Animation has some great potential, but they need to get rid of John Lasseter because of how controversial he is nowadays.

You know what should be considered a drinking game considering you mentioned of how much they used the word, “luck”, overused the word, “picture”, whenever you don’t call them “films” or “movies” as only older people would say it like how it was back in the old glory Hollywood days. Jokes aside, I really don’t have the words to say when it comes to Luck because it was hard for me to describe without mentioning John Lasseter’s involvement. It was really that hard for me. I couldn’t even make a post on Instagram to describe my feelings towards this film. Without mentioning Lasseter and just focus on the movie itself considering I have seen it on AppleTV+ thanks to my free six months subscription, it really does feels like a bland Disney knockoff as it tries to be Monsters Inc. but without anything creative or interesting to make it stand out. The animation looked solid, an interesting concept of good and bad luck, and decent voice acting which I mostly feel bad for them including Eva Noblezada as she is a good actress after seeing film debut performance in Yellow Rose back in 2020 when the pandemic was bad at the time and it was one of the first films to check out in theaters when my state finally reopened. Seriously, I recommend you guys check this movie out if you can as it also features Lea Salonga who did a singing voice of Mulan and Jasmine. I really wish her the best of luck, no pun intended, for her career after seeing this and Easter Sunday being this bad. Anyways, what really hurts this film is the poor writing that does little to make to make it interesting that results a tiredsome story, bland characters, overused exposition, poor jokes, and again copy too much from Disney and Pixar without being able to stand out on it own. As it stated before, it a bland Disney knockoff which I barely find anything positive from it and really not your time paying AppleTV+ to see this movie. I do believe John Lasseter should retire as he is nothing more but a toxic man who cares about his buddies more so than his animators at Skydance. Speaking of Skydance, I fully blame David Ellison, the CEO of Skydance Media for starting all of this because if hadn’t hired Lasseter just so they can compete against Disney, none of this would be happening so if we were to blame Skydance Animation’s mediocre films and letting Lasseter go off the hook it would have to be Ellison altogether.

Yeah, my best advice is to just skip this movie, and instead to go watch Rise if the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie on Netflix, which is far superior to Luck

Skydance Madrid (a.k.a. Illion Animation Studios before Skydance acquired them) deserves far better luck (no pun intended) with projects that suit the talents of their in-house artists than movies with mediocre outcomes such as “Luck,” “Wonder Park,” and even “Planet 51.” (John, go home. You’re too drunk with power for any former colleague - let alone woman - to feel safe around. The sooner you are held accountable for your actions, the brighter future Skydance will have. Capisce?)

I’ll confess that despite the wrongs John Lasseter has done like his sexual misconduct, his nepotism and kicking off directors from their original films and replacing them with ones from his crew during his tenement at Pixar, I can’t discredit him from creating and directing Toy Story and Toy Story 2, A Bug’s Life and Cars. No matter how you view him, Toy Story and Toy Story 2, A Bug’s Life and Cars are still and will always be his movies.

I’d mention “Cars 2,” but it’s understandable why that film has received the Bruno treatment for 11 years.

I had no intention to see this movie due to Lasseter. And from seeing the trailer and hearing from critics "and from you Mat" I guess I wasn't missing out on it. I don't know how any of Skydances future animated features will be, but if it will be like Luck, then I don't have a good feeling about their future (I think they might get a couple of good ones like Ray Gunn, but they could suffer because of Lasseter. I wouldn't be surprised if a revolt happens at Skydance in the future, just like what happened at both Disney and Pixar).
