It’s sad,whoever did the boards for this evidently put a lot of effort in designing these shapes and poses to read clearly only for all the personality to be sucked out in the Final Cut.
This guy used to HATE Sony Pictures Animation. During his Hotel Transylvania 2 review, he suggested that Genndy Tartakovsky, an animation veteran, should read an animation guide book. I’m not kidding.

They treat “good writing” as this intangible concept. Reviewers like him can’t even articulate their reasoning for their opinion on something

Money,time and effort went into this but the style itself is non existent
This character looks like something stripped from the Preston Blair Book
He’s only comprised of drawing principles and nothing else.
