About
Enjoy a charming, musical adventure in early-1900s Paris and a heartfelt “don’t judge by appearances” message; Not for you if you want nonstop action or prefer big, blockbuster animation like The Loud House Movie or Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness.
Pros: delightful musical energy; Paris setting charm; family-friendly tone | Cons: uneven jokes; some dull pacing; forgettable songs
