The Casagrandes Movie

to be honest I hate it when Netflix takes the advantage 😡😡😡😡😡

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.

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.
