I was most looking forward to this movie.
This movie was Great.
Pros: The animation was so good. I liked the story because it was simple and easy o understand, basically telling us how to find our place to belong. It deals with a lot of themes such as death and being a mother. The voice cast were amazing and My best parts were the humour and its storytelling.
Cons: The main atmosphere didn’t need to be there. There were some “bling it you miss” moments in the movie and I don’t have any more issues with this movie.
