Luck, Apple TV+’s latest offering, recently dropped on the streaming platform, and fans of animated movies can’t help but swoon over the movie’s wonderful storyline and magical visuals. Directed by Peggy Holmes, who previously worked on The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning, Luck is written by veteran writers Jonathan Abel, Glenn Berger, and Kiel Murray writing the screenplay. Berger and Abel previously worked on the Kung Fu Panda movies.
While the movie received mixed reviews from critics, audiences seem to appreciate it. Watchers fell in love with the movies alluring animation, charming storyline, and well-performed voice acting. A review by The People’s Movies wrote of the film: “While it’s aimed at the same audience as Disney’s Inside Out, the idea of good or bad luck is more elusive. Despite its positive intentions and spirit to match, its basic idea is its main weakness. That all-important touch of magic is just a whisker away.” Another one from What She Said wrote: “It’s colourful, noisy, rambunctious, and funny… My favourite part is Sam’s unbreakable spirit against the odds and the idea that fortitude and love will get us through.” Despite receiving a lukewarm response from critics, almost everyone can agree that the voice acting on the movie is superb.
