The introduction of Michael Jackson's pet chimpanzee, Bubbles, is presented as a bizarre and momentum-derailing scene. The CGI for Bubbles is criticized as poor, and the narrative inclusion of the chimpanzee is questioned, especially when other family members like Janet Jackson were omitted. The discussion also touches on Bubbles's eventual relocation to a sanctuary and the speculation about Jackson's relationship with the animal.
Impact: Medium. The scene with Bubbles serves as a point of contention, highlighting the film's questionable narrative choices and the challenges of depicting Jackson's eccentricities. It raises questions about what elements are essential to his story and what constitutes unnecessary or poorly executed additions.
