THS’s Take On This Lovable Film
As we mentioned up top, cookie Queens fills a sorely needed niche in the theater landscape right now. Simply put, we don’t really make movies for young people that aren’t animated very often anymore.The days of a mid or low budget film making its way to the theater for younger audiences is on the decline. All you have to do is look at the list of recent releases and you’ll see for yourself.
(Bonus points if you can find me an example that doesn’t rely on being a live action remake of a previously animated title. Or, A reboot or sequel effort that is also based on existing IP. Hard to find? You can’t even imagine!)
Still, this is where a movie like Cookie Queens could really end up surprising people in that last frame of summer. These four girls are likable, they’re a relatable goal in mind for them, and the draw of this kind of story is going to be pretty much universal. So, if you’re looking for some family friendly entertainment across the spectrum, you’re gonna find a lot to like with Cookie Queens.
