Positives:

• Returning characters from the previous film are back, so that's good

• Charming quality

• Intriguing music

• Catchy melodies in the only four musical numbers

• So wholesome with a few characters including the spider kids, cardigan and fern

• Some colors and backgrounds are decent

Negatives:

• Story logic have scenes that are not needed

• Bullying and discrimination for Wilbur and Cardigan is wrong because some characters in the opening were so mean, which is very ambiguous

• Very inconsistent and sloppy animation, especially the keyframes

• Some choppy editing

• Medium poor dialogue

• Pacing issues due to runtime and visual storyteller

• Misunderstandings with Uncle Homer that he doesn't care

• What makes it even worse for the plot points and writing, that it kinda works
