The Trailer
The Review
Watching this animation feels slightly discomforting, in terms of visual.
The animation despite its 3D thrill, it could be better, as to me it was poorly rendered.
Storywise, it has a strong message of friendship, and the importance of overcoming adversity.
Kids would love it, adults like me would be more critical of course.
The Good
- Excellent moral outline
The Bad
- Slow early pace
- Ideal for kids, not for couples
