Did someone at the studio feel there were not enough films about misunderstood monsters, like the recent Hotel Transylvania series, or Monsters, Inc? Did they want an animated vehicle to carry the chirpy soundtrack, even though it has little bearing on the story? These are both strong theories, but a close examination of Smallfoot reveals a more insidious plan. Migo is thrown out of the village for purporting to have seen a “smallfoot” (i.e., a human), which one of the stones says cannot be. There’s less for parents to enjoy, although the animation is head and shoulders above most Bigfoot footage I’ve seen.
