Having watched the trailer, I'm sure Chris Pratt will deliver a similarly passable performance to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but I have to wonder what kind of dirt he must have on studio executives to keep booking roles he is definitely not the best choice to play.

I know a large part of it is studio insistence on using A-listers for voice acting roles, but on some level you have to ask how many kids will actually beg their parents to let them see Garfield just because Star Lord is in it.

Looking at the total cast, it is pretty stacked with known actors, but they were not featured in the trailer (except for Chris Pratt and Samuel L Jackson) so it's hard to know if they did a good job or not. Even though I like most of them, I still really wish studios would start bringing trained voice actors back to animated movies.

From an animation standpoint, it's about what you would expect for a generic kids movie. It reminds me a lot of the Illumination aesthetic, though I don't think it is Illumination.
