Great little movie, one big stereotype
26 April 2020 | by overtonlesley – See all my reviews

Loved the animation and the fresh approach to complex family dynamics. Big glaring issue is how the rag on Child Protctive Services in the same old boring trope of souless robots out to sequester children. These people are an integral part to protecting our society's most vulnerable from the very people who should have be providing a loving and caring home but neglect to do so. Hey Netflix, how bout some positive examples for these incredible and hard working heroes next time eh?
