The art from the original Dances With Smurfs has been recycled successfully. No budget was wasted on any pretense of plot. It's jam packed with maximum nonsense, just as set ups for morality lessons. Lessons such as: ignore evidence based medicine, depend only on prayer and acupuncture.
The Blue conservatives fear any change. They don't have any sustainable economy, and depend on parasitical cargo culture. When the different races of blue people fight against each other, they switch to talking in English. All the races of blue people seem to share the same strange embarrassment and shame about nipples. This installment introduces implausibly miscegenetic half breeds. Presumably intended as an opportunity to lecture on metis oppression.
The Blue Conservatives torture big ducks, to make them fight against the Red Liberals, who are trying to provide aid to the blue people as a sideline while protecting their own families. Oh, and a psychic whale goes all Moby Dick and Jonah and the whale, at the same time. Pretty much any random thought from anywhere else is crammed into this mess.
The popcorn was ok.

With Hallowe'en in mind, thought this could be fun to watch. But after the first couple of curses it got too repetitive and predictable. CGI up to par with 1980s TV shows. Who would you pick as the worst demon: atheists, or gold digging women? I won't spoil it by giving the answer here. While arguably well intentioned, this is the kind of thing that can give organized religions a bad name.
It was a bonus seeing the superhero with the gold lightning bolt on her chest, right after a trailer for the reboot of Shazam!
Recommended only when combined with a critical thinking discussion group to follow. Some homework going in could help too.

Writing what you know is always wise. Artists writing about their art, easily gets incestuous and tiresome. Sorry to Bother You draws on experience and pulls in imagination in the blend of good science fiction.
