The award for the film that made the spell check on my computer go the craziest goes to the new animated comedy “Smallfoot.” (So many red squiggly lines. So many.)

“Smallfoot” is the story of Migo (Channing Tatum), a yeti that lives with the other yetis on top of a mountain that floats above the clouds. He is the son of Dorgie (Danny DeVito), the gong-ringer, and is set to take over the position after his father steps down.

Rating: *** (out of 5)

After a practice ring, Migo flies off course and lands outside the village. There he witnesses a plane crash in which he discovers the legendary and dreaded smallfoot, or as we call them — humans.

Migo heads back to his village to report his discovery, but he runs into a giant problem. The existence of the smallfoot is disproved by the sacred stones kept by Stonekeeper, the leader of the village. When Migo says that the stones are wrong, he is banished.

However, he is approached by members of the SES (Smallfoot Existence Society), made up of the town weirdos, Gwangi (LeBron James), Kolka (Gina Rodriguez) and Fleem (Ely Henry). Along with their leader, and Migo’s crush, Meechee (Zendaya), who also happens to be Stonekeeper’s daughter, they send Migo to prove that smallfoots are real.

What Migo doesn’t know is that below the cloud the story of the pilot who saw a yeti captures the attention of struggling nature show host, Percy (James Corden). Percy needs a break to get his ratings back up, so he asks his assistant Brenda (Yara Shahidi) to help him fake a video of a yeti, which she refuses.

After Brenda storms off, Percy meets the one being that can actually help him out – Migo.

“Smallfoot” is based on the book “Yeti Tracks” by Sergio Pablos and brought to life by directors Karey Kirkpatrick and Jason Reisig. The movie is both a political allegory that adults will pick up on and a bright, shiny animated semi-musical that will keep kids entertained.

Despite the plot device of questioning your leaders and working hard for change, this film mostly is slapstick humor.

Although it is somewhat comical and has a handful of catchy songs, this movie never truly reaches its potential. This could have been the Warner Bros. equivalent of “Frozen,” but one without songs as well written as “Let It Go.” (Translation: Parents most likely will be spared from hearing these songs incessantly.)

Because the film never really embraces being a musical, it should have just been made as a comedy without songs.

“Smallfoot” brings nothing new to the table in terms of what an animated movies can do. That said, the majority of the time it’s enjoyable enough to keep kids happy and give grownups a few chuckles.
