~ Another throwback intellectual property that was the product of its time and could be viewed as a bizarre concept now, making the attempt to give it a suiting contemporary backstory understandable although trying to match the original's quirky and bizarre concept would steer the movie to this particular extreme end of the spectrum
~ Based on its recent run-of-the-mill debut trailer, the overly sweet and bright tone is accompanied by the cartoony and psychedelic scenes surrounding the colourful characters as well, to its own detriment with its more juvenile take punctuated by the seemingly random musicals and bright colours
