In a world where monster wrestling is a popular global spectator sport, major cities have their own monster stars. The small town of Stoker has their champion Tentacular until he decides to take his talent elsewhere. In fact, the big city wants to turn Stoker's stadium into a satellite parking lot for its own stadium. Winnie Coyle wants to follow her manager father's footstep and find a new star monster. She finds Rayburn, son of a champ, throwing matches in underground fights.
I get it. I get what the movie is trying to reference. It's mildly humorous at times. It's almost there but it keeps missing the mark. I want to love the characters but they aren't compelling enough. This is the first full length film directing for Hamish Grieve. It's technically sound and it looks like many other animated movie. As a story teller, there is some work to do. This is very much a marginal case. It has an idea but not a great movie.
