Alec B A sweet children's movie that deals earnestly with complicated family dynamics and the death of loved ones. The animation is beautiful. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Simon L This was a delight to watch. The music, animation and dialogue were the perfect balance of captivating and hilarious. Its broad exploration of longing through the slim lens of a handful of lives was something I haven’t seen done so well before, and it managed to do it in a way that had me laughing and crying both until the end. I saw this with another person and we talked about it all the way home and long after. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Lan O This is pure fun. The animation is great and the story is very basic, but so charming. The score was great too. If you want to have fun for 73 minutes straight, this is the film to watch.
