A small woodland creature and a majestic bird, two natural sworn enemies of the Valley, magically trade places and set off on an adventure of a lifetime.

The plot itself isn’t extraordinary but the critters populating this forest wonderland are.

It’s all rather predictable, but the world-building is distinctive and the animation is pleasingly lush.

2/5

Unlike the greatest Pixar films that the director, Nathan Greno, and his three writers are trying to emulate, any sharper messaging gets quickly cast aside for a fairly rote buddy comedy quest narrative.

Swapped clearly wants to reach the heights of Pixar, Disney, or DreamWorks' best without actually understanding what made those films truly connect with people.

I’ll give it that I was dazzled when it brought me to this magical valley, but unfortunately, it did not bring me into a good movie.

Swapped impressiona visualmente, com criaturas lindas e uma animação muito bonita, mas falha em construir protagonistas realmente marcantes. O roteiro segue um caminho extremamente previsível e reutiliza vários clichês de animações familiares sem acrescentar algo novo. A mensagem do filme também perde força por ser apresentada de forma muito superficial. No fim, a dublagem acaba sendo o elemento mais memorável da experiência.

predictable, dragging story line, dead air in between the scenes, trying hard to become same quality as pixar, voice over talents not so convincing as if theyre just reading their lines, managed to watch for only 10mins then swapped to the another movie
