      Cute Cute Film

      I loved this film - It is so sweet and it plays really well - Delta Burke is so cute in it and she looks really good. The character which she plays fits perfectly with her appearance and personality, I had never heard of her before but she really stood out in this movie. It is a real feel good movie.. It is a family movie but I think that it would appeal to everyone kids and adults alike. The way the movie deals with some issues but not heavily is perfect for family viewing. It also has laughs and heartwarming parts. I recommend it - I watched it one evening while doing housework and it made me smile a lot :)

      I recommend it :)

      I want my Dayo as well

      After watching this movie, you'd want your own Dayo as well. Who wouldn't? Someone beside you at all times, always there to comfort, advise and help you, like a pre-pubescent guardian angel. A heartwarming story that unlike others, does not have a soppy ending in which everything becomes hunky-dory (it does, but doesn't give you that feeling) without too much effort. A definite must for the whole family snuggled by the fire.

      Such an underrated movie.

      Day-O offers a really good experience, with amazing performances and a touching but simple story that creates a fantasy world for everyone from all ages. This is a movie that every time I watch it, warms my heart. Is a Disney classic for me, there's no chance that you won't enjoy it, you might not love it from a technical or whatever serious aspect point of view, but if you just want to feel reconnected with life, and childhood, or adulthood you must check ot out. You won't regret it.
