Ermine: GENERATIONAL CONFLICT!
DO YOU LIKE GENERATIONAL CONFLICT? BECAUSE HOO BOY DO WE GOT IT FOR YOU HERE!
Fuck this movie, man. It's so trash. None of the main characters are interesting or likable in any way at all. I hate all of them and I wanted all of them to die. There was zero sense of danger because apparently, Disney doesn't do villains anymore so guess what? Now you get nothing. You get nothing interesting at all, ever, because that's Disney now, Yay!
Even the plot twist of them actually being on the back of some creature is lost because it's so completely nonsensical. I don't believe for a second that they couldn't see past a couple of mountains to see the ocean and also that they couldn't travel past or through the mountains in some way. THERE WERE LIKE A FEW MOUNTAINS in the way. None of it made any sense.
Maybe just everyone that exists on the back of the creature are just all complete idiots. I mean, I already believe that so it's not too far-fetched. 0 laughs. Unfunny movie with 0 jokes that hit. The stupid "OHHH I WANNA MERCHANDISE IT." Guy? If anyone actually laughed at that, I hate you as a person.
Trash movie. Belongs in a dumpster fire.

Evillord: The Disney Animation Studios film no one knows exists. Maybe they didn't advertise it because the main character's son is explicitly gay and they were worried about marketing issues in less accepting regions such as China or Texas, or maybe it's because they knew the film is garbage. I thought it was cool that the family's pet dog had a missing leg, and the setting has some potentially interesting aspects, most notably that the entire world is on the back of a giant turtle, which is only revealed near the end and hardly explored. That's all it has going for it. The reject Wreck-It Ralph character designs are disconcerting and the writing is godawful. None of the characters ever shut up, it's just this constant deluge of forced faux-charismatic dialog hammering in the most trite and obvious story beats imaginable. The opening scene has the main character and his dad trying to climb a mountain until the son sees a random plant and decides for no reason that it's so important he has to stop the expedition and study it, leading to an incredibly contrived argument after which the dad disappears for 25 years. The random plant turned out to be a miraculous all-purpose power source, but then one of the other members of the old expedition shows up to inform the main character that the plant is under threat and they have to go on an adventure to save it, where, surprise surprise, they find the dad again and sort out their family issues after like 50 minutes of tiresome, obvious, petty arguments. The environmentalism theme that comes in later on is also way too simplistic to be worth a damn. The film basically imagines that you could solve The Climate Emergency by shooting at a big bad guy. Oh yes, and regarding the gay son, he has a bf with about 30 seconds of screentime so the film doesn't explore their relationship at all, they just keep having painfully awkward dialog where all the other characters remind the audience that the son has a crush on a boy. This is Disney's superficial approach to representation and about as lazy as the rest of the writing in this shithouse movie.
