Animation wise do not expect this to be of the highest order - this is fine enough I reckon for the time it was made. Also this never reaches a standard that was set by Pixar (and others for that matter) - it is just family fun! Although to be fair that is not meant to be a bad thing.
Not every movie can reinvent the wheel - and in this case if you want a movie about pets who are into adventures, you could do worse. Also a bunny that is jealous and sort of bad behaving? It might have been done similarly before, but I do not remember an instance to be honest. So there are some unique parts even if that doesn't mean that the movie will surprise you much. But it is not about the predictability, but the fun you can have ... and you can have a lot of fun, if you let your guard down and just suspend your disbelief.

It's a kind of magic ...
Isn't anything I'll remember with that much fondness
A great opening scene and an amusing end scene aside, 'The House of Magic' isn't anything I'll remember with that much fondness.
I will say the animation is much better than I had anticipated, it's nothing near a high level but it is absolutely fine; nothing bad about it in truth. The cast are serviceable if forgettable, I wouldn't say any of them are better or worse than their colleagues - which I suppose is a minor positive, given no-one grates with their voice performance.
I found that the mesh of plots didn't work as good as it possibly could have, granted it isn't terrible but we don't really get enough of either in my opinion. A bit of magic and a bit about the cat's story, it ends up just becoming a standard lacklustre and predictable villain-centric plot.
If I was going to watch a kids movie I should have used my phone instead of my mom and dads computer
Look I know this is a kids movie but that doesn't mean they should add dumb down and over the top for kids. I am a massive fan of Magic and how it works and I even did a magic show in my school when I was 15. I watched this movie when I was about 16 and to be honest I felt embarrassed and insulted that I had to use the house computer for this piece of crap. This is a kids movie then hold on a second why is there a guy with in a radiation suit with an actual gun trying to kill a cat?
The animation is just pure ugly and the story was a bore.
Yet the voice actors were good but I do feel sorry that they have Grant George (the voice of Ant Man from Avengers Assemble season 1-4 and the voice of many anime characters),Kyle Herbert (the voice of many anime characters) and Joey D'Auria (the voice Whisper from Yo Kai Watch) in this god for saken piece of crap. With help I could make a better movie then this garbage. Sorry if I am being harsh in my review but if you did enjoy this movie it's okay I respect your opinion. ;)
