does look a little cheesy.
But there is one big flaw with your rant, This isn't done by Pixar. As I was watching I was thinking to myself "The animation, research, story and render is not Pixar quality."
So yeah stop the film at 2:19 and you'll see this is lionsgate. you'll find the same if you go to the given URL.
I may not agree with Disney all the time, but there is no doubt that Pixar is considered the Best 3D animation house in the world. There is no way they would do something this cheap.

By the looks of that movie, it doesn't look half bad. But, the plot is still that same old rinse and repeat formulae that everyone hates.
