Smallfoot

Smallfoot has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, and in the UK on HBO Max Amazon Channel and Sky Go. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 1,640 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Channing Tatum leads a cast with real comic timing. Put it on tonight on Netflix and see for yourself.

There is a reason Smallfoot keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Smallfoot land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. A bright young yeti finds something he thought didn't exist—a human. News of this “smallfoot” throws the simple yeti community into an uproar over what else might be out there in the big world beyond their snowy village. The chemistry Channing Tatum and James Corden bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It hit screens in 2018. Smallfoot earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Smallfoot is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Channing Tatum anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
