Life is happy for a village of Bigfoot creatures living in seclusion high in the mountains, until one of them (voiced by Channing Tatum) discovers a human (James Corden). Same thing with this animated film, it bounds out of the gate with a bouncy song and lots of physical comedy. When the titular character starts to complicate the story, the fun starts to dip, while messages of acceptance move to the fore. None of the characters, including the expected zany supporting roles, are especially memorable. The remaining musical numbers aren’t as inventive or catchy. Even though there’s plenty of energy, the level of fun never really returns, but there’s sufficient entertainment value for young audiences.
