Like some insane mashup of the silent film classic Metropolis, old-school dance and the children’s TV show LazyTown from the early 00s. But in a mostly fun way.

The highlight is the choreography. With the animation allowing new and interesting possibilities.

When the movie focuses on graceful dancers in a colorful environment, it's delightful.

Leans heavily into modern concerns of fabricated image and the corruption of beauty, while staying true to the original story.
