Directed by Hamish Grieve in his feature debut, is an animated sports comedy that imagines a world where monster wrestling is a global phenomenon. Starring the voices of Geraldine Viswanathan, Will Arnett, Terry Crews, and Roman Reigns, the film follows Winnie (Viswanathan), a teenage girl who dreams of becoming a wrestling coach like her late father. When she discovers Steve (Arnett), a lovable but washed-up monster wrestler, she sees an opportunity to turn him into a champion and prove herself in the process. While Rumble delivers colorful animation, humor, and heart, it ultimately feels like a missed opportunity to fully explore its creative premise, often relying on familiar sports-movie tropes and clichés.

In a world where monsters are superstar athletes and wrestling is the most popular sport, Winnie is a determined young woman who wants to follow in her father’s footsteps as a wrestling coach. After her father’s death, she’s left with little support, but her passion for the sport never wavers. When she stumbles upon Steve, a down-on-his-luck monster with a heart of gold, Winnie sees potential in him. Despite Steve’s lack of confidence and the skepticism of others, she takes him under her wing, training him to compete in the Global Rumble League, the biggest wrestling tournament in the world.
