It's touching, it brings more than a smile, and it has a constant, radiant energy that makes you feel good and leaves you feeling good. [Full review in Spanish]

The animation is genuinely quite stunning and the project does feel like it could serve as the breakout start that Kyohei Ishiguro needs.

Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop is a sweet and vibrant film about human connection and the way music and words can tie us to each other across years, across insecurities, and more.

I enjoyed the film-- "Words Bubble Up Like Soda"-- It is very cute. Slice of life cartoon-- Cherry and Smile are awesome-- Their friendship is great. Cherry does Haikus-- Smile is an internet star-- They become good friends. Cherry covers ears-- Smile covers her "ugly" teeth-- Together they fit. Animation's nice-- very colorful and bright-- expressive for sure. But not much happens-- People make some poor choices-- Cliched finale. There's pacing problems-- Where's the hook, an hour in?-- Just do something. Characters evolve-- Seeing change is always good-- Stories worth telling. Give it a look-see-- You like mellow animes?-- This one's worth your time.
