Gone Fishing (2017 Video) User Reviews

Story-wise fairly disappointing, even for this runtime

[Horst_In_Translation · 4/10 · 23 June 2017]

"Gone Fishing" is a 2017 animated short film, so really really fresh and new. It is a little add-on from the DVD/BluRay of Disney's Oscar-nominated Moana. The two central characters return (voiced again by Cravalho and Johnson) and it is basically about the grown-up's plans to go fishing. Of course, these are entirely unsuccessful which is very much expected after Moana's sweet interaction with a fish early on. It was clear that one would not end up in a pan. Sadly, I must say as fast as this film may be in terms of actions and puns, it is rarely successful from a comedic perspective. That's why my overall verdict here is also a negative one and honestly Moana's bitchy way about what her name is did not help things either. This review is coming from somebody who has not yet seen the original film this follows, but I am pretty sure that there were not too many jokes in here that I have missed because of not having seen Moana. Anyway, even for this runtime, I felt that the film had very little, almost nothing to offer and even gets repetitive at the ending almost. Disappointing, especially given the fact that 8according tom IMDb) there were four people working on this one. Seriously? Watch something else instead unless you really love Moana.
