My kids loved it

My kids loved this film. They loved the different animation styles and seeing a story they love coming to life. While it was a bit disjointed to me, it's not made for adults and I get that. I can definitely see the inspiration that play school has made on the story. We had a big chat about daydreaming and they loved the idea that their daydreams could be made into films.

Artistic self-indulgence

I'll preface by saying I have two preschoolers (the target audience for this film), who ADORE the Magic Beach book by Alison Lester. Unfortunately they were bored senseless by about 30 mins into the film and it was a struggle to keep them in the cinema until the end.I'm sure this film will be critically acclaimed, but I felt it was more about the artists creating it than actually providing entertainment for children. Personally I think it would appeal to now-adult fans of the book from their childhood, for the nostalgia value. Can't recommend to other parents of young children, it's just far too long with no consistent narrative, too many slow sections and just not enough story to keep them engaged.

disjointed and disappointing. misses ANY mark

I took out an imdb membership just to save others time and money re this film. (love imdb, just never felt the need to write reviews). We LOVE supporting aussie film making, but this series of vignettes just didnt work (to be polite). It feels like a series of "look at me! Look at me!" events with no cohesion let alone synergy. I agree with other reviewers. In fact it is almost impressive how effectively it avoids appealing to any audience demographic. I think it does the book a disservice. To the makers: PLS review the difference between collective vs collaborative.To the director: You really did 'Paper Planes'?? (that was Fabulous!) Split these into standalone 'shorts' and sell to the ABC as a series (filler spot) so each animation style can shine.
