Most of the characters I found to be pretty unlikable (Katsuma especially). Most of the songs are just reused from previous Moshi Monsters material and the original songs are bland and mostly forgettable. Strangeglove is probably the best part of this movie. His VA is clearly having as much fun with this as possible. The message is blatantly obvious and generic (don't be a self absorbed jerk). Things are introduced or set up but never come back or are just ignored. For example, many things in this world are operated by whistling for some odd reason, and Katsuma can't whistle. The sets up a climax where he has to believe in himself, learn to whistle, and call for rescue or something, yet all the whistling is done by Mr Snoodle. Some of the world building is odd and confusing too, and many scenes only exist for one singular purpose (Sweet Tooth's scene is only in the movie to separate the group a bit more). Finally, the movie acts like an ensemble movie with all 6 monsters, yet Katsuma and Poppet are the only ones to contribute anything to the plot and the others only have one or two lines, only to get kidnapped anyway.
It's not absolutely awful and there's nothing bad for kids, but only watch this if you have to.
