Some fans online are already reacting. “It does look like they’re mixing Galaxy, Odyssey and Sunshine with a dash of Wonder.”
“It is me or does it look like they’ve spent more on it? Not that SMBM was cheap looking but it’s more quality than the usual Illumination film.”

What’s new in the trailer?
