About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle animated crime adventure with supernatural flair and a family-friendly tone, especially if you liked A Cat in Paris; Not for you if you want fast-paced action or a darker edge.
Pros: inventive ghost-power twist; likable main trio; family-friendly suspense | Cons: familiar setup; lighter adult appeal; ending may underwhelm
