Monday Morning Maybeearly ratingWhy it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for a family movie night and anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up. If you loved Once Upon a Studio or Day & Night, start here.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 5 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
The first animated short film to feature Varga's clumsy claymation character Augusta.
