I sat down to watch the 2020 animated movie "Space Dogs: Tropical Adventure" with my 11 year old son, whom wanted to watch this, as he had watched some "Space Dogs" animated movie before.
And while this animated movie certainly is watchable, I must admit that it is one that didn't really find a home with me. The storyline and the characters are aimed for a children audience, no doubt about it. And rightfully so, as this is an animated movie after all. But hey, my son did enjoy it.
The animation, CGI and art style was definitely enjoyable, and there were a lot of nice details added to the scenes, so there is certainly something to look at in all of the scenes.
With this being an animated movie for the children, of course you also have the obligatory song and dance routine crammed into the storyline. And it should be noted that the song sequence with the jellyfish was actually a memorable one.
The voice acting in "Space Dogs: Tropical Adventure", in the English dubbed version at least, was actually quite alright. Sure, there wasn't a single familiar voice among the bunch, but it should be noted that the voice actors and actresses definitely breathed life into the CGI animated characters with their performances.
"Space Dogs: Tropical Adventure" is not an outstanding animated movie, and there are far better and more enjoyable animated movies readily available out there, and also some that are aimed at a more mature audience at that.
My rating of this 2020 animated movie lands on a five out of ten stars.

Definitely one of the kids...
Another worst animation film! Full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Avoid at all freaking cost!
This film start with a space dog running away from a bunch of space monster, and the space dog's teammate saving the space dog scene! As turnout, this film is about two space dogs(Strelka, and Belka) need to team up to save the creatures live in the Atlantic Ocean! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the blackout scene, overuse of the playing dumb scene, overuse of the arguing scene, overuse of the calling names scene, overuse of the running scene, overuse of the walking scene, and overuse of the singing scene! Make the film unwatchable! At the end, Strelka, and Belka save the Atlantic Ocean! Still have a post credit scene! Pumbary throwing flowers on earth! That's it! Wasting time to watch!
Eventful and Distinctive. Great Diversity and Great message
Space Dogs: Tropical Adventure is the final film in the Space Dogs trilogy. It's an eventful and distinctive movie! When I watched it, what I expected to happen didn't happen, but it has a great plot that definitely works well. Space Dogs: Tropical Adventure also represents diversity and has a great message.
Space Dogs: Tropical Adventure is about two astronaut dogs named Belka (Maria Antonieta Monge) and Strelka (Mauriett Chayeb-Mendez) who are sent to Earth on a mission to investigate a suspicious anomaly in the Atlantic Ocean. Belka always takes control and is the leader of the missions. But with that, she is constantly getting blamed by the General when things go wrong and is always at fault. Now, both Belka and Strelka have to step up and work together with their friends to solve this mysterious case and save the planet.
One of the factors that makes Space Dogs: Tropical Adventure special is the diversity in the characters. Even though this film is about animated animals, there are many different types of animals that all play a major role. For example, besides the two main dog characters are a rat and a fly. The settings are well detailed. Everything that surrounds the characters emphasizes and gives context to each situation. So when Belka, and Strelka are trapped in the underwater dump, around them you can see pieces of wood, skeletons and trash. My favorite character is Belka because she reminds me of myself. She loves to be the leader, and always ensures that everything goes according to plan. The voice acting was done very well because it suits the characters. However, sometimes the words don't align with the movement of the characters' mouths. Also, if you aren't paying close enough attention, this movie can be a little hard to follow. Aside from these things, Space Dogs: Tropical Adventure is pretty fun.
The message of Space Dogs: Tropical Adventure is that teamwork can solve any problem. Belka and Strelka repeatedly attempt to complete assignments their own way, with one trying to take control from the other. But this approach never works. When their friends assist them, they finally realize that the only way they will succeed is if they work together. This movie is totally kid-friendly, and there are no red flags.
Space Dogs: Tropical Adventure is an interesting movie. I rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 10. Reviewed by Maica N., KIDS FIRST!
