Welcome to Kids First Coming Attractions. We're giving you the
ultimate VIP access to the newest releases, delivered straight from
our awesome team of kid critics. Today we dive into
the fun sea line world of Gabby's Dollhouse the Movie.
Our expert reviewers Kennedy p Rookie Kay and Zille Epp
are here to share their honest opinions. They agree this
(00:29):
movie is everything a fan could ever wish for.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Hi, I'm Kennedy reporting for Kids First.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
This is Zoe reporting for Kids First.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Everyone, I'm Ruey reporting for Kids First and today will
be reviewing Gabby's Dollhouse the Movie. Gabby's Dollhouse the Movie
is everything a cat lover can hope for. Its bittersweet
message can appeal to every generation and is complimented by
plenty of glitter, make believe with the Gabby Cats and
the sprinkle parties the audiences know and love.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
The story follows Gabby Leila Lockhart and her lovable cat
friends as they set off on a big adventure inside
the Dollhouse.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
It is one of her most prized possessions, and when
the Dollhouse follow into the wrong hands of the peculiar
yet eccentric Lady Vera lay by Christian Wig. Gabby is
determined to save her dollhouse and get her Gabby Cats.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Back Gabby's Dollhouse. The movie is a cup of fun,
a teaspoon of glitter, and a sprinkle of nostalgia. The
film's creators incorporate fun moments of music and dancing along
with more serious moments of reflection, a balance that brings
truth to Gabby's journey.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
The characters are just as delightful as ever. Gabby, panty
Pots and all the fan favorites shine on the big screen.
Leila Lockhart wonderfully brings Gabby to life, while Gloria Stefan
adds warmth and heart as Grandma Gigi. Kristen Wigg is hilarious,
and Mischdeevie Yes as Vira the cat lady villain, adding
a fun twist to the story.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I really like how this movie is so interactive with
the audience. The actors often turned to the screen and
ask the audience to repeat a phrase or sing along
to a song. Children watching this movie will not only
learn new vocap but also new words, songs, and more.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
The voice actors make each character feel real and lovable,
and the animation is bright, detailed and magical, creating a
world that feels alive and exciting for kids and families alike.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
As much as I enjoyed the film, I felt like
some of the characters seemed unfinished and the movie tries
way too hard to include way too many plotlines and characters,
and it felt quite over stimulating and overwhelming at times.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
A final aspect worth mentioning is the character development of
the antagonists. While Vera and her former cat Chumsley played
by Jason Mantzoukas, are initially portrayed as villains, the writers
allow both characters to leave that behind. The sources of
their problems are displayed through flashback scenes, evoking sympathy from
the audience, and I found myself rooting for them just
(03:09):
as much as I was for Gabby.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
At its heart, this film shares an inspiring message even
small challenges can be overcome with kindness, imagination, and teamwork.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
It not only teaches kids to appreciate the toys they have,
it also teaches us that playing is normal and fun.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Watching the antagonists rediscover fun and get their happy ending
reinforces the message that everyone deserves happiness.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I give Gabby's Dollhouse the movie five out of five
stars and recommend it for ages five to twelve plus
it all.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I give Gabby's Dollhouse the Movie four out of five
stars and recommended to ages two to eight.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
