Review of Smallfoot (2018) by Will T — 17 Oct 2018
An interesting movie, fun at times, but the in-your-face, humanistic hi ground the director takes from the first scenes gets tiresome. It goes from subtle undertones to uncomfortably inescapable anti-religion, anti-establishment music numbers in no time.
More of a propaganda film than a kids flick. Easy to create straw-man characters to knock down. "Don't listen to them, they're questioning the stones". The stones in this case are their religious scripture, the 'religion' in the movie is clearly made up and the seeming purpose of the film is to teach kids that any religion is made up and only serves to blind people.
I think the creators of this film would read that last sentence and say "exactly, you were watching'". With a nod to James R.Taylor, this is definitely a film for atheists, secular humanists, and non-churchgoers.
