The Son of Bigfoot may not be from one of the major animation studios, but it carries itself rather well in a sea of many others like it. As with any animation film, the main target audience are usually young children but viewers will find there are appeals in this movie for all ages. Although older audiences may find something to criticize about, but overall, the story and its development can be appreciated.

The film sets out a path to include something for everyone to enjoy. Having said that, the path was clear and set in stone and the film really knew what it wanted and who to target. As with any animation, humor is one of the fundamentals and this film didn’t lack any of it. It included a lot of charming moments as well, especially with the father-son relationship with Bigfoot and his son, Adam. Their relationship was delightfully handled and easy to relate to.

The animation and the overall presentation are fantastic. The backgrounds are rich and colorful bringing appeals to the eye and the character development brings feels to the heart. The designs of the characters are easy for viewing and didn’t come off as something wacky, which sometimes takes away from story. Viewers can easily immerse themselves in the movie.

The Son of Bigfoot is a delightful film that does not try to go overboard. It knows what it wants and it aims to grab your attention by targeting all the right locations, such as its colorful presentation, story development, and the relation between characters. It is a film that is cheerful and an overall fun time for the family to see.
