Not a movie for kids - in a good way!
24 April 2016
This movie was great! I haven't enjoyed an animation in quite a while the way I enjoyed this. It's not a film for kids and I mean that in the best way possible. It is not simple and superficial, rather it is unexpected, new, and deeper than you think. Kids will enjoy it, but adults will enjoy, understand, and appreciate it the most.

The film is unpredictable and furthers the plot in ways that you wouldn't expect. The characters grow on you and you already establish a great connection with them from the very start. I liked that the message was conveyed fully rather than conveniently - the ending wasn't conveniently happy with easy-won success for everyone as if in a fantasy world of happy endings, the ending was realistic.

The film itself spoke of universal concepts; hope, desires, dreams, belonging, rejection, failure, and friendship. The plot was exciting and surprising. The characters were lovable and relatable. In conclusion, the movie was amazing.
