    Confusing and choppy
    This is a poorly made piece of art. We had high expectations going into it, since it advertised that the same people who made "Leap" had a hand in this. It was nothing like "Leap." It had the feel of the "Little Prince," but more confusing. The main plot and conflict/resolution was lost in a mess of one disconnected problem after another, almost like it was originally designed as a mini series, but then someone decided to just throw it all in the same pot and call it a movie. We watched it with our four kids, ages 4-10. After it was done, before biasing then, we asked the older two how they liked it. Our 10-year -old said, "That was a mess, and really confusing." Our 8-year-old said, "I liked it, but it was really weird and confusing."
