About

You may enjoy this if you like very soft, old-school animated fantasy with songs and a childlike tone, somewhere near Thumbelina or Rock-A-Doodle; Not for you if you want a sharper story or less sweetness.

Pros: colorful animation; gentle kid-friendly fantasy; nostalgic charm | Cons: thin story; overly sugary tone; lots of filler
