When your imaginations run wild, you get this fun movie.

I complimented on the visual effects and designs of the night fury Toothless in the live action “How to Train Your Dragon” remake, but I was also complaining how it barely did anything different. And because of the popularity of the animated franchise, it still grossed over $600 million worldwide.

And I’m still complaining that while the dinosaurs may be going for new forms in “Jurassic World: Rebirth,” they still followed the same menu. So far, because of the popularity of the dinosaur franchise, it has grossed over $700 million worldwide.

I doubt “Sketch” will reach those box office levels, but it does have a lot going for the fantasy genre than those two hits, which I said were misses.

The movie stars Tony Hale as Taylor Wyatt, a widow and father of two who are struggling to get over the death of their mother. The one daughter Amber (Bianca Belle) draws some bizarre doodles that are meant to hurt a class bully (Kalon Cox). Her brother Jack (Kue Lawrence) also comes across some magic water that doesn’t connect him or his sister like Dave Franco or Alison Brie in Together. Instead, it heals his injuries and when his sister’s drawings are accidentally dropped in that water, the sketches come to life.

Among the drawings, there are “eyeders,” which are red eyeballs with five legs almost like spiders. These things are obviously easier to kill than real spiders, because they practically disappear like dust if you crush them or if you melt them. After all, the sketches are made from chalk and crayons. Time for that obligatory “Psycho” reference. There are also butterflies made by sticky notes, and purple hearts, but not the kind war vets are given. And there’s a giant blue biped monster with one googly eye and one sticker eye that’s pealing off. His name is Dave, and he vomits out glitter.

So we get the siblings and bully acting like some kind of Ghostbusters as they must take out the monsters, while the dad and his sister Liz (D’Arcy Carden) are trying to find and rescue them.

“Sketch” is the latest film distributed by Angel Studios, and it chooses the fantasy genre to help deal with family pathos without being so predictable or tedious. In fact, the visuals of the creatures are amazing, and I doubt the budget for this film is as big as it was for “How to Train Your Dragon” or “Jurassic World Rebirth.” Some of the dialogue is corny and not every character works, but Halle, Belle, and Lawrence all deliver with some energy and consistency. And it likes to fight against the cliche that an adult would have trouble believing that a fantasy is taking place in reality, by getting straight to the creatures.

I may have chosen some bad words in my review of “A Minecraft Movie,” by saying it was a harmless movie. I’m also not a fortune teller, so I couldn’t predict that there would be a “Chicken Jockey” fiasco that would mess up theaters. Even though I still have that film a good review for what it is, I still think “Sketch” should have a better influence on older kids. I would say around 9 and 10. It might be a little intense for smaller kids, but it can also be a fun throwback to some of the movies we grew up with.

The writer and director of “Sketch” is Seth Worley, who is also a teacher and entrepreneur. He also has directed shorts and commercials, and I think his feature directorial debut is proof that he knows what he’s doing. And I’m still amazed by the special effects of these creatures, and the money here is more well spent than the $300 million robots in “The Electric State.” Maybe the Russo Brothers could learn a thing or two here.
