Don’t worry, I’ll be back on Christmas movies tomorrow lol
Really enjoying this show…At first I was a bit thrown off by the characters and using ‘Monsters’ as characters felt a little kiddy for me, but was quickly impressed by the depth they gave each character, the intriguing story telling, flawless animation and pretty cool action scenes…well deserved 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
