Ultimately, everything about Arlo the Alligator Boy feels like a setup for something yet to come. That isn’t an inherently bad thing, but it does shift the audience’s expectations for the movie.
Long before the motley crew crashes the Met Gala, it’s clear that director Ryan Crego is bolting wacky gee-gaws onto a rote plot. Still, several gags pay off.

A Cute Little Musical With Great 2D Animation Nice And Catchy Songs And A Great Message
Report
Before diving into "Arlo: The Alligator Boy", I anticipated another piece of children's media where the plot and lessons being told would overly cater and pander to the current mindscape of the popular consciousness. Rest assured, those suspicions were laid to rest. "Arlo..." arrives with enough whimsy, emotion, and catchy songs that help make it a memorable and charming musical for all ages to dig into.
Report
Good animation, good songs, good characters, just an overall good movie that I would recommend!
Report
Good animation, but trash content where writers don't seem to understand what should get inside the mind of little kids. There is drinking and bridge jumping after a failure. Those who wrote this don't seem to understand the difference between plots for adults and plots for kids. "My family are my friends", choosing friends over family, is not the right message to pass. Vilifying father figures is not the right message to pass. There were a lot of things in this that souldn't be impressed on the little one's minds, mostly because it's our grown up world's problems, not kids'. It's not that kids won't like this, it's an animated musical. The problem is what it is teaching.
