Smashing cast, amazing visuals, originally unoriginal story, but nothing can save the EXTREMELY boring pace.
What do you get if you mix the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Harry Potter with a pinch of Labyrinth? Unfortunately, it doesn't feel nearly as creative as it should.
The concepts aren't 100% original ( I watched an animated film called Luck a while ago, had a lot of similar concepts - not saying it's the same, but still. There are other examples as well.)
However, I enjoyed this. Would I watch it again? Maybe not. Is it incredible... No. It's got a good cast, a fun story, and the effects aren't egregiously bad. In fact, I thought they were fairly good, which is not too surprising coming from Jim Henson Co.
The main co-stars were cute together. I enjoyed the little budding romance they shared.
Overall, it was a nice, chill movie to watch that didn't make me upset about anything after I woke up, and allowed me to distract from my crippling physical pain, as much as media can do that. That's always a plus for me in this world.

I enjoyed this a lot. It was wonderfully imaginative and charming.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
this is fine.
easy watch with the kiddo's
think I found it a little more enjoyable than fantastic beasts
it had the potentials to be a great movie
I really don’t get the target audience for this
it was kind of a good film but was weird and i don’t get the whole goblin thing
But i did fall asleep in the middle so maybe it’ll make sense to other people
Mmm, boring, bad characters, it is like a hallmark channel movie meet scify channel and had bad bastard son. Skip it.
3/10.
Very slooooow moving. Very average.

I don't know who this was made for - maybe teenagers?
The concept seemed good, some great actors (new and old), some good sets, let down a little I think by some of the creatures at one point...but it was just not as interesting as it should have been (to the point where I struggled to stay awake)
So lots of points for the concept, not to much for the execution
