I really like the OG saga. I grew up watching the movies and I have a special place for the characters in my memory. Buuuut... when I found out they were going to make a prequel I was actually excited, I just wanted to see more of the characters I like and their world; then I found out it was going to be centered in the 2 sugar skulls from the og movies and I was starting to be a little skeptical, I never really loved them and I didnt thought they could support a whole movie on theyre own. I was sadly right. The story of the movie is not really interesting, and it doesnt add any real value to the og saga. The new characters are interesting but just that, and while they have their little moments but thats not enough, most of the time they arent funny and are doing nothing, they are mostly meaningless. The story is also boring, it has a million plot holes and weird decisions made by the characters just to move the plot. And while I loved the cameos from the OG saga characters, those things cant save a whole film. The only improvement over the og films is the animation, its better and prettier. A sad way to bring back this saga.

Do we really need a prequel?

The answer is no, it wasn't totally necessary, although the movie fill some plot holes from the past movies.
The story is very predictable and unoriginal, it's linear and this is appreciated, but it didn't seem as interesting to me as the first movies. The development of the antagonists is null and of the other characters is insufficient, the development of the story is very simple. The animation of the landscapes is very simple and not very surprising, but the essence of the entire saga is present in this film. It bored me at moments but some others were funny, I guess it's not as bad as I expected to be but it's still not memorable.
It can be entertaining for children, but in general it is far from being a memorable and interesting film, within the saga it is not the worst but the effort to create an interesting and fun story is not very noticeable either.
