The film is three different stories with nice illustrations. I found the first film quite boring with a lack of clarity (although maybe that's how it's meant to be). I thought the second story was easy to grasp with nice illustrations - perhaps it could be quite useful to show to kids to help them understand allergies better. Finally, I found the 3rd story OK and open to different interpretations.
Overall, for me, I thought it was OK but occasionally a bit monotone and boring. I think it would be better as separate films (not put together in one title). They also would be better off as 3 illustration books which would be great for kids.
