Chastised by both critics and moviegoers, the film’s notable shortcomings include its slow and clunky-looking action sequences and CGI, the casting of mainly white actors to play a cast of non-white characters, the removal of much of the humor and vibrance that made the cartoon series so memorable for many and its profoundly embarrassing casting choices.
