Excerpt from Variety review:
What might have been a worldwide, “Scooby-Doo”-esque phenom with young audiences winds up feeling a little too French.
How so? For some reason, rather than taking the time to lovingly establish the world (à la Sony’s hit “Hotel Transylvania”) or to riff on monster-human relations (like Pixar’s “Monsters Inc.”), de Pins and Ducord decide to get political, focusing the plot on the class struggles between the different castes of monsters. And they don’t stop at “all monsters are created equal” marches either. No, “Zombillenium” is designed to indoctrinate young French audiences into the idea that all those overworked zombies ought to unionize and go on strike.
It’s not so much that one can’t make a cartoon about a Marxist monster revolution. It’s just that it might have been smarter to save that particular storyline for some future sequel, once the “Zombillenium” franchise has firmly established its footing.
