I watched Unfrosted (the Pop Tarts movie) and it was... pretty, pretty, good?
Its a straight up comedy movie in the way that Hollywood have just stopped making those anymore, and its also pretty all ages in terms of humour, and has some decent bits that are genuinely funny.
There's a lot of referential stuff, but in the good way where if you get the reference it adds an extra layer, and if you don't the bit still works and not in the Family Guy the reference is the entire joke way, and there's a lot of silly absurdist stuff, plus a fucking ton of cameos. Jon Hamm has a particularly great one, and Ol' Billy Burr is great as JFK.
It actually reminded me a lot of Conan O'Brien era Simpsons with the overall tone, not-giving-a-fuck-if-you-get-it-or-not references, generally family friendly humour with a little bit of an undercurrent, and the absurdist / silly stuff.
Funnier than most of Netflix straight-to-netflix comedy movies, and funnier than most kids fare, and doesn't outstay its welcome.
