First off, the plot is predictable, and you can guess where the tale is headed, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing because this film is meant to make you feel happy and heartfelt. That caused us to marvel and enjoy the journey, and there were a number of things that contributed to my enjoyment of the journey. First, the directing was excellent; I was astounded by how, in some essential scenes, the camera switched to the character's point of view, giving me the impression that I was a part of the setting they were in. Second, the sound effects and visuals did a lot to make me enjoy the film; for example,the stunning sound effects inspired awe and wonder and were so calming and uplifting that it seemed as though the characters were in the room because of how expressive and lifelike their voices sounded. The character movements were fluent and natural, giving a lifelike experience, and the character animation was so lifelike and detailed that it felt like they were real. The brilliant and fascinating colors of the film made for an exciting and immersive experience. The unpleasant aspects of the movie are kind of concealed, so there aren't many of them. I believe they have discovered the recipe for the ideal animated feature.

Another animation film gone straight to streaming, which is such a shame.

The film is very beautiful visually, showing us different and unique places, and in a style that is very pleasing.

The story is interesting, although perhaps not as daring as other recent animated films and at times felt a little too simple. Some themes needed more depth, but the plot is entertaining. As much as it was not as creatively original as say the Spider-man Spider-Verse films, it was a pleasant experience and left an extremely positive balance.

I did enjoy that the moral lesson is very well crafted, always reminding us how we must never lose hope, regardless of the challenge.

Started off great w a good premise, captivating animation.

... then the plot absurdities start to plonk in one by one until there's such a deluge of nonsense that all sense of connection to the plot or the characters are gone.

Yet AGAIN another animation which throws all its budget on the visual graphics and a tiny tiny pittance on good writers who can flesh out a viable plot with characters that can hold the viewers interest.

But here we have rubbish plot, rubbish dialogue, characters which held early promise all plonked down the tunnel of showy absurdity.

Good visual animation but the nonsense plotting is for animation trash heap.

The story was wonderful. In my opinion, it is not only worthy of attention from an artistic-literary point of view, but also worthy of attention and reward from all of them who are trying to make the planet earth a better place for living. Especially the activists of children's rights, animal welfare and right and human rights.

Of course good stuff about this work more than just story for example the faces of most of the characters were designed very pleasantly.

I can list some complaints about the lack of work in some technical larts of this animation but with a more comprehensive view, we can easily ignore them.
