About
You may enjoy this if you like bright, family-friendly animated musicals with a hopeful message, especially if Trolls or Charming worked for you; Not for you if you want grounded realism or a plot over songs and dancing.
Pros: magical fantasy world; upbeat music and dance; uplifting message | Cons: very dance-focused; fantasy-first premise; stage-show style
