Luck2022

Verdict: 🥈 SHOULD SEE (if you’ve got kids) I’ve seen a lot of talk online about how Luck is an example of how John Lasseter sucks, but I had the exact opposite impression. It was actually VERY clear where Lasseter (as a Producer, not director or writer) left his mark and improved what would otherwise have been a very mediocre and forgettable movie from a studio that isn’t fully equipped to produce top-tier work. It’s very apparent where Lasseter was able to guide the project to greater emotional resonance, consequential story beats, relatable and empathy-inducing characters, etc. For Skydance’s first animated feature and Apple TV+’s first major venture into this territory, they were wise to pull Lasseter out of cancel land to buoy this one up.
