source: Spark: A Space Tail

... I had no words to say about Spark: A Space Tail. 2017 was a relatively horrible year for animation. Sure, there were gems such as Coco and indie favourites such as The Breadwinner, Loving Vincent and A Silent Voice, but there were a proportionally high number of bad animated movies to good animated movies that year. If not for The Emoji Movie, I would have happily declare this as my worst animated movie of 2017. Here is why: 1. Very bad CGI in the movie. Animation is a pretty important part of every animated movie and this one sucked really hard. 2. The characters felt pointless and generic. Not even Spark himself had some unique personality that I can back on. 3. The story is just a blatant rip-off of so many movies, both animated and live-action. Ratchet and Clank, The Star Wars and so on, even Journey to the West. 4. The "soundtrack". Oh, don;t get me started on the soundtrack. While the animated movie soundtracks that year are pretty decent, this soundtrack is just plain awful and most "songs" are outright terrible and unrelated to the scenes that uses those "songs". It just makes the movie experience even worse (thankfully, this movie was not released in Singapore at that time, so I had to watch it online). I had no good things to say about Spark, no matter how hard I tried. Avoid this animated cringefest at all cost, even if it is just for a bad animated movie night. (Watched the movie online)

OMG This Stinks Spark Likes To Think He's Smart When He's Actually Dumb The Other Characters: No One Cares About Them Not 2 or 3 either, not 4, 5, or non stop growing bigger numbers Animation is garbage Characters are stupid

This Is Same As Space Chimps Even Though That Movie Is Boring, It's Very Plain Animation Is Below Average Story Is Boring Little Better Than Space Chimps 2 Boring As Space Chimps 1

This animated film tells the story of a young monkey who lives in a secret fragment of a destroyed planet. He is trained by the two people who raised him, to combat the evil master of the universe. One day, he discovers the chance of prove himself and destroy the evil master of the universe. "Spark: A Space Tail" is an adventure for young children, so I am not expecting much. What I'm impressed by is that they managed to get many big names to voice the characters. What I have not been so impressed by is the story, but then I'm not the target demographic that the film is aimed at. The animation is OK, but the characters are not as cute as I wished to see.

I really like the characters and creature design in the this movie, but the story was a mess and a lot of really stupid jokes. The main character Spark is like any teenager hero they create out there, but he is not unlikable. His biggest flaw is that they don't give him enough flaws, they try to make him this always right guy and it had been much better seeing him fail. As I said, the story is a mess and it really overshadows the characters. Had love to see them again actually, but with the box office it got it's unlikely.

Wow! This Is An Old Fashioned Animated Movie That Is A Total Catastrophe At The Box Office That Did Not Even Reach $1,000,000 And Getting Released In China Which Is Very Weird Story: It's A Clone To Megmind(2010) & Kung Fu Panda 1 & 2, The Story Makes No Sense, How Can Spark Breathe In Space Characters: Vix Is The Only Good Looking Character, Virtually The Rest Is Just Ugly Spark Is A Stupid Name For A Character Animation: The Animation Look Like It Was From 2006 Instead Of 2016, Not Only That It's Ugly, And It Looked Like It Should Go Straight To DVD Voice Acting: Not Too Bad Jace Norman As Spark Who Joins Henry Danger, There's Patrick Stewart Who I Don't Know And I Don't Know The Rest My Suggestion: Skip This One It's A Bad Movie, It's Old Fashioned 1.3/4

This is a kid's movie, we adults want it to make sense to us! Of course from the astrophysics point of view this movie doesn't do a good job, but then Star Wars wouldn't make sense either. Kids enjoy watching this movie and if they are glued to the screen with their mouths half open, then they are enjoying it. Spark: A Space Tail has humor and action. Adults, stop giving this movie a low point only because it doesn't entertain you.

I personally thought the story was very well done. I was impressed with character of each of the characters. For me the animation was fine. Had the story been a good one then I wouldn't care about how realistic the characters are portrayed - it's a kid's animation so I don't expect it to look lifelike. The characters in the movie is good. Not the best animated feature I ever seen but it is OK. Thirteen years ago, the evil General Zhong overthrew his noble brother to seize the throne of the planet Bana, using a spacetime anomaly known as a "slick". Slicks were defecated out by a wild creature known as a space kraken. The slick tore whole shards off the planet, and swallowed up many subjects. Among the few survivors were a baby monkey named Spark, a warrior fox named Vix, and a pig mechanic named Chunk. In the present, Spark, Vix and Chunk secretly live on a shard used as a garbage dump, with Vix and Chunk leading insurgency missions against Zhong. One day, Spark intercepts an e-mail sent to Vix about a new mission, and decides to take the mission himself. The e-mail surprisingly leads to the Queen of Bana. The Queen hands Spark a kraken-finder, which Zhong wants to use to find and recapture the space kraken. Spark decides to use it to find the kraken himself, and he tames the creature and brings it back to Bana. However, when he went home, he finds out his home raided by Zhong's forces, who then capture both him and the kraken. Zhong forces the kraken to make a new slick into which he hurls Spark, Vix, Chunk and the entire garbage shard. The trio discover that the slick actual is a wormhole that leads to a desert planet. Spark finds survivors of the first slick, living in the King's old flagship battle cruiser. The Captain of the flagship reveals that Spark is in fact the son of the King and Queen, who entrusted Vix and Chunk to hide him away. The King had died in an accident some years ago. when Spark visits a memorial to his father, Spark finds a special weapon made for the royal family. Spark rallies the survivors to mount an attack on Zhong. The flagship and survivors return to Bana through their own slick, and ultimately defeat Zhong's forces after a prolonged battle. Spark personally rescues his mother, the Queen, from Zhong's own flagship which gets critically damaged during the battle. Spark decides to rescue Uncle Zhong as well, but the Queen then punches Zhong into the slick. The film ends with Spark becoming the new Prince of Bana.
