About

You’ll likely enjoy this spirited animated story with a strong mother-daughter focus and lively humor if you like Disney-style fairy-tale adventures; Not for you if you want Pixar-level storytelling depth, faster laughs, or something especially original compared with Frozen.

Pros: entertaining family adventure; strong Scottish atmosphere; lots of heart | Cons: story feels thin; laughs sometimes; pacing drags
