Just bad, what a shame.
Looks like a Sony picture: trying too hard. To be funny, to be cool, to be relatable.
Filling every second, hectic, never slowing pace nor allowing to feel for the characters' struggles or joys, with them. Feels like director/producers/writers/animators just said "welp, it's the _5sec attention span generation_ , let's put a dance, scream, awkward sitch.. every 5sec". Even the nice message gets not lost but sort of trivialized by all that circus.
It's like when adults talk to children as if they're not capable of understanding: I so much more prefer an Encanto, or Soul, approach - passing important messages in an animated movie without feeling the need to sugarcoat it with all of **that** stuff.
Sugarcoat feels right: as you mask veggies with shinier stuff to mask the important part.
The mother was just cringe, "overacted" (if one could say that about an animated person), "a constant manipulation of feelings, an absolute surrender to the cliché".
Encanto has a similar backstory and message but it was passed with grace and sensibility, you could immerse in the culture and traditions, as well as Mirabel's journey. I'd have loved to do it here as well, with the cultural richness present.
[spoiler] the final scene in the forest was the only one where the rhythm slowed down and got more insightful - not weirdly the most touching moment in the pic [/spoiler]

I get that there are different targets and you can be more high RPM, but I don't usually expect it from Pixar.
This movie works - maybe - just if you're under 15
