Saw it opening weekend, and I thought it was okay. Better than Secret Life of Pets (not saying much), but despite Illumination trying something a little different, it still wasn't anything ground-breaking or mind-blowing. Even though the characters weren't too bad, the numerous covers of pop songs (and some older titles) were barely tolerable for being the biggest gimmick of the film. Sucks they couldn't write their own songs, probably would've benefited from it.
Animation was decent at least. I'd take a bunch of Zootopia rejects over Illumination's weird-looking humans with unnaturally wide spaces between their noses and mouths any day.
