You can hear a different pro-feminist message in the way she constructs all the female characters. It’s also a rare animation helmed by a woman, Peggy Holmes. The Scottish cat is a laugh, and the overall voice cast is distinguished, with Jane Fonda and Whoopi Goldberg in significant roles. It has lively physical humour and appealing characters. I’m wary of children’s films that freight hoary old shibboleths. I’m not sure Luck benefits from the creeping superstition, but that’s just me. These subtle changes to western media content have been coming for a while now, and, in many cases, enriching that content.

This is animation with Chinese characteristics, to paraphrase Deng Xiaoping. Perhaps that’s why we are now seeing Luck on our screens. In January 2018, the Chinese multinational Tencent bought a large minority stake in Skydance. Bruce Lee was a legendary martial artists and while his life was unfortunately cut short at an early age, his legacy continues and today, we’re checking out The Big Boss (his first film) which has been rescanned to Blu-ray. When she emerges ready to rebrand herself as. A disappointing comedy that struggles to keep its story afloat.

They have a partnership with Skydance Media, whose animation division is the lead producer. A titan of industry is sent to prison after she's caught for insider trading. 'The Boss' forces all its characters on us and doesn't have a direction that justifies any of the events in the film. The original idea seems to have come from Madrid’s Ilion Studios.

The animation is of the high standard we now expect from all feature animations: beautiful colouring, superb resolution, seamless work on the difficult things like hair and movement.
