Playmobil: The Movie is a 2019 English-language French animated adventure comedy film based on the German building toy Playmobil. The film is directed by Lino DiSalvo, in his directorial debut, written by Blaise Hemingway, Greg Erb and Jason Oremland, and produced by On Animation Studios. The film stars the voices of Anya Taylor-Joy, Gabriel Bateman, Daniel Radcliffe, Jim Gaffigan, Meghan Trainor and Adam Lambert.

Plot
A young woman travels to the animated world of Playmobil to find her missing younger brother, Charlie. In order to bring him back home, she must embark on a thrilling adventure.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The film is basically a rip-off of The Lego Movie. In fact, this movie was released the same year the sequel was released.
 * 2) The combination of live-action and animation is pointless since most of the movie is animated.
 * 3) For some reason, Marla's brother, Charlie, is a viking in this movie, which is stupid.
 * 4) It completely wastes the talent of Anya Taylor-Joy, who did a great performance in The Witch. It also wastes the talents of Gabriel Bateman, Daniel Radcliffe, Jim Gaffigan, Meghan Trainor (yes, she starred in this), and Adam Lambert.
 * 5) Extremely unlikable characters.
 * 6) It's made by the same people who made The Little Prince and Mune: Guardian of the Moon, which are both good movies, which is a major letdown.
 * 7) The Playmobil world doesn't feel like Playmobil at all. The whole thing's just animated. Nothing looks like what the real Playmobil toys looked like. Just complete CGI crap. The water looks like water. The Playmobil characters do look like Playmobil characters, but they look more like real humans than convincing toys, which is a similar problem with the Perfect Dolls in UglyDolls.
 * 8) Just like The Emoji Movie and UglyDolls, the movie is more disguised as an AD for Playmobil.
 * 9) The movie can't decide whether it's an adventure movie or a spy film, or any film in general.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The animation is decent.
 * 2) "Run Like A River" is a good song.
