It's an okay-ish movie. It reminded me of The Loud House in terms of the animation style. Both the animation and audio quality were fine. There is not much that I can say about the original song as it was not played for long.

The storyline was okay, though it was boring for me. It was just like every other kids' movie out there about a father/mother-son/daughter relationship, just with a slight twist. The tone setup was a bit gloomy and dark, and I'm unsure if it was intentional. The voice casts were okay except for the main character Ronnie, her voice reminded me of Tommy from the Rugrats. It was weird. Overall, an average movie.

While the Loud family of Royal Woods traveled their way up to Scotland in Europe, the familia of Great Lakes City takes a trip down south of the border in The Casagrandes Movie!

It's summer vacation and Ronnie Anne finally turns 12 on her birthday! She and her bestie Sid are about to spend a day at a new Xtreme skate park! But her family back home has a much bigger surprise. They're going to take a long drive down to Japunda, Mexico to visit Mama Lupe's hometown while also taking part of the New Fire Festival celebration. They also learn about Michoacán culture and an ancient legend about a preteen demigod (who also turned the same age as Ronnie's). Ronnie Anne would later befriend the demigoddess, and the chaos would start to ensue.

I have to say that the animation here (despite being the same as The Loud House Movie) has more details with depth, lighting, shadows and color. The character personalities of Ronnie Anne and her Casagrande/Santiago family are still their same loving selves. The fictional Mexican town of Japunda with its landscapes, pyramids, temples and other magical passages look really nice. The humor has some hits and misses, the action scenes with some 2D animation are exciting, and there are a couple of Easter eggs put in as well.

Now the main focus of this feature is the relationship between Ronnie Anne and her mother, Maria. Maria wants to spend more time with the family on this big vacation so she could be closer to her young daughter. But Ronnie Anne, who just turned 12, wishes to be more free and independent while not being smothered by her mom a lot. The two would have a bitter connection throughout the whole trip, but then Maria learns that she was also a 12 year old girl in the past who yearned to be more on her own, which she got that from her mom, Abuela Rosa cause it's a family generation of chancla warriors.

The important moral in my own words is just because the daughter is growing up doesn't mean that the parent has to still treat her like a baby. Let her be on her own. She will slowly start to learn more about trust and responsibility as time would go on. She wants to be an independent woman, but still loves her parents too. And no matter if the daughter is young or growing older, she is still a loving little girl in the parents' eyes.

If you're a Loud House/Casagrandes fan who also loves an exciting adventure, then this movie is just for you! I congratulate Miguel Puga and the CasaLoud team for putting all their passion and effort into this big final hurrah. The series may be a short-lived spinoff, but the Casagrandes will continue their ongoing guest roles in The Loud House!

I like The Loud House spinoff show The Casagrandes that started in 2019, which ended in 2022, because I thought it was an enjoyable animated show with likable characters and a nice-looking animation style like The Loud House; I am hoping that at least the movie on Netflix is had what I liked about the show since this a conclusion for the show, especially since this film is not going down the musical route like The Loud House Movie (2021), which I did not expect. The Netflix film The Casagrandes Movie (2024) is an enjoyable enough film that has good voice acting, nice-looking 2D animation, a good enough and interesting villain, likable main characters, and some new elements added into this film that were not established in the show; this film is not spectacular by any means but it was a good conclusion of sorts to the show that people who watched the show will like, and for those who have not seen the show, the film is good and enjoyable enough so you do not have to see the show to watch this movie.

The main Casagrande family is likable enough, with Ronnie Anne Santiago trying to get alone time on her twelfth birthday away from her family, until accidentally releasing a demigod; I like Ronnie Anne trying to fix what she did by working with her family, and since her and her mother tend to disagree, her mom has to learn to give Ronnie Anne space to be on her own and Ronnie Anne has to fix her issues and make up with her mom by the end. The rest of the Casagrande family are not in the film that much, but they are entertaining and likable enough with each one of them having a certain personality or quirk, along with them helping in the third act; I like the family relationship between Ronnie Anne and her family, and I would have liked to have seen them more because they are not given much to do. Lastly, the history of Mexico and the Casagrande family was interesting, along with the new additions of demigods and magic that was not in the show but was cool seeing with the improved animation and the bright visuals to make it investing to watch.

The villain is this demigod Punguari who was fine, like she is not bad or anything, I just thought she was a good enough villain for a movie like this, with her backstory having a connection of sorts the Casagrande family and her being a angst filled teenager who wanted to be a god despite not being ready for it; the elements introduced in this were not established in the show, that being any magic or god elements, which is used in the villain's plan in some way involving taking over Mexico for her own doing. The 2D animation looks the same as the show just with more movements and certain shading details to make it look improved on with bright visuals/colors making Mexico look pretty, and there was an occasional funny moment; there is not much else to say because this film does not have a complicated premise or anything or anything really big or noteworthy, I will just say that this was an easy watch.

The Netflix film The Casagrandes Movie (2024) is an enjoyable enough film that has good voice acting, nice-looking 2D animation, a good enough and interesting villain, likable main characters, and some new elements added into this film that were not established in the show; this film is not spectacular by any means but it was a good conclusion of sorts to the show that people who watched the show will like, and for those who have not seen the show, you will just see this as an enjoyable Nickelodeon movie. The last thing I will say is that I would recommend giving some episodes of the show a watch because I do think it is a good enough show, with it being enjoyable to watch; for the film, it is just a fine animated movie that is worth watching at least once.

Poorly paced, unfocused, and with a plethora of clichés displayed in almost every scene, this movie deserves the minimal rate possible.

Just in the first 30 minutes, you can realize how poorly structured this movie truly is: It's only exposition after exposition with the most heavy-handed approach you can imagine.

On the other hand, the animation, soundtrack and voice performances are as generic as you expect. This only exacerbates the dullness and lack of direction of this film.

In conclusion, I don't think I can recommend this movie to anyone.

This isn't even a "so bad it's good" type of movie, it's just boring; Consistently boring.

So The Loud House Movie (2021) is in my worst 5 movies of all time, and as you can imagine I was not happy to hear The Casagrandes spin-off was getting its own movie.

But because I'm a masochist I gave it a watch. I was cringing almost immediately with the completely gratuitous and out-of-place SpongeBob/Rocko reference. That part was so bad that it could rival the worst aspects of The Loud House Movie.

Surprisingly though, that was the only thing in the movie that actively angered me. The rest of it was just boring, bland, lifeless sludge.

And that's the thing. The 2021 Loud House Movie and everything about it fills me with rage -- its very existence makes me angry. But I'm really not feeling the same level of hatred with The Casagrandes Movie, perhaps because it's just that dull.

Don't get me wrong, The Loud House Movie was indeed boring but that was the least of its sins given how utterly mind-blowingly terrible and frustrating everything else was.

The Casagrandes Movie's biggest sin (the aforementioned SpongeBob/Rocko thing aside) is just how utterly vapid it is.

This may be the single most bland, boring, lifeless, empty and SOULLESS movie I have ever seen.

I'm not even mad at this movie, I just find it incredibly sad.

I really love The Casagrandes movie it's such a treat, the animation for the movie is even better and has a lot of shading which makes the movie stand out, The Casagrandes live is a great movie that has a lot of humor, culture, heart, a lot of beautiful color when it comes to animation and some very cool surprises, also captures the heart of a mother daughter relationship between Ronnie Anne and Maria and it's very nice to see Maria have a huge role in the movie opposed to the series cause in the series she has barley focus props to the actors such a Izabella Alveraz, Sumalee Mantano, and Paulina Chavez who nailed their scenes with their characters especially Izabella as Ronnie Anne and of course props to the man who directed the movie Miguel Puga and to be honest it might be better than The Loud House Movie but I also highly recommend this movie it's so so good.

Wow just wow! This movie overall is just amazing! It's animation is way better than the loud house movie and the casa series itself. Felt short and could have been longer yet still brings a great conclusion to The Casagrandes!

The story behind it which I find it very interesting and fascinating is on top! The voice acting cast nailed it and Izabella Alvarez obviously nailed it as Ronnie Anne! Director Miguel Puga did a fantastic job on the movie and the animation team went all out on this movie!

Overall I would give it a 9/10 but since I'm a sucker for movies like this. I'm giving it a 10/10! Will definitely love to re-watch it again sooner than expected!

I absolutely loved this movie and will definately watch it again, the animation is brilliant out of all the movies i've seen that are animated, personally I think its a very bright and refreshing movie to others like it i've seen, the overall story to the movie was, in my opinion which others may not agree with, is fantastic. I think it also puts a very important yet not overly presented message about mothers caring about their children and perhaps being misunderstood and presented as 'strict' or 'controlling', I also find the characters to be very funny often within the movie despite it being a kids movie, I think the voice acting in this movie was great and any lines/points needed to be made were made clearly. Overall I personally think this movie is a 10/10 and i'll 100% be rewatching this soon one of my favourite movies and I highly recommend you watch this yourself/with kids.

I never watched the show avidly (there's just so much stuff) I am aware of it and I have nothing negative to say about it.

This feature length version of that is on-brand and does everything it should. Dripping with local color, both Hispanic and indigenous Mexico are brought to mind with each one of its huge cast getting some time to shine.

Dealing with the conflict of needing your independence but how family is still a special part of you, this was a well thought through, well told story of mortals and gods with super set pieces and visuals.

It's hard to know what else to say; for a general audience it may seem trite but I think the fans will be satisfied.

It was a great finale to the Casagrandes television series and I was shocked that ronniecoln the fan service that people make fan art on it was in the movie and I'm surprised there was other Easter eggs in it bikini bottom from SpongeBob SquarePants and rocko's house from Rocko's modern life. And after the credits it showed Ronnie Anne back from her trip to Mexico and tapes a picture of her and her family including Punguari and her parents in her bedroom wall and some words saying special thanks to all the loud house and casa familla this was the great surprise ever given to us fans ever. Thank you Miguel Puga.
