About

You’ll likely enjoy this upbeat, dialogue-free toy tale if you like simple, visual comedy and determined little misadventures; Not for you if you want witty, original humor or a more satisfying long-term story arc, like The Snowman or For the Birds.

Pros: cute toy world; lots of visual jokes; easy story to follow | Cons: jokes not always original; story feels predictable; resolution lacks payoff
