About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an uplifting, emotional drama about resilience, friendship, and creativity, with a gentle crowd-pleaser feel; Not for you if you dislike sentimental stories or slower, character-focused pacing like in I’m Not Scared.
Pros: moving, heartening story; creative use of sound; strong child performances | Cons: familiar plot beats; some cutesy moments; stiff adult conflicts
