Lego: The Adventures of Clutch Powers

The movie has the saving grace of coming out a few years before The Lego Movie, and if it didn't, it would get overshadowed and overwhelmed even more. That being said, because this is mainly a DVD movie, it's probably not gonna be fantastic. Also, probably bad. But no. This movie is in the middle of bad and good. The animation is choppy and bland, but considering the year of release, and the studio who made this film also made one of the worst animated films of all time released two years later, that's to be expected. That being said, compared to The Lego Movie, it makes this look like a movie you'd find for one dollar at Walmart. The writing in Clutch Powers is nowhere near as good, and disregarding the animation, the characters aren't much better. However, compared to Threshold's later film released two years later, that makes Clutch Powers look like the full quality of The Lego Movie, no questions asked, and a Oscar winning movie. It's kinda sad and shocking how the company made that after Clutch Powers. Besides, Clutch Powers was just a average, acceptable, but not great animated kids movie that you could let babysit your kids if they're bored. Clutch Powers is a million times better than that, and another sad thing is, Clutch Powers had no hype surrounding it. The film released two years later did, as it's been worked on since the early 2000's. But hey, Clutch Powers could've been worse, but it could've been so much better. I'm just thankful it's nowhere near as bad as the movie released two years later.

All right, so this movie isn't Citizen Kane. Let's be real. It's a kid's movie. It never tries to advertise itself as anything else. Sure, it's not really deep, but it is amusing. I remember watching this movie as a young kid and enjoying it immensely. Not for its thought-provoking morals, not for its innovation in the animation industry, but for being a fun movie that I could enjoy. Sure, it's light, but not every movie needs to be heavy and deep and thought-provoking.
