About
You may enjoy this if you like kid-led adventures with a fairy-tale feel and a slightly darker edge, somewhere between Tom Thumb and Poly; Not for you if you want strict realism or a faithful book adaptation.
Pros: fun fantasy premise; lively child ensemble; good-hearted tone | Cons: uneven adaptation; dark kid conflict; some clunky visuals
