A truly enjoyable and charming family film about an unusual friendship. Almost ( but not quite) as good as the classic stop-motion film "The fool of the world and the flying ship". The characterisation could have been improved a little, but the need to keep the timing down to something reasonable for the younger viewers is probably a reasonable excuse. Definitely one I would have watched with my Kidlings when they were younger. Some flaws but overall the feel-good conclusion allows me to give 8/10.

It's like What Dreams May Come crossed with Zootopia with a handful of other stylistic/story influences, and it made for an interesting journey. Definitely geared toward younger children, although there are some elements that might disturb and/or perplex them. And this starts almost immediately, as the two main characters die and go to animal heaven within 10 minutes. Also, what 4-year-old will understand, much less be curious about, the nature of eternity. Still, there's some nice stuff in there about bravery and friendship. It's cute and quirky, just don't think about it too hard.

But then drifted off into cliche. Bullying friends, abusive dad, overblown character traits.

The animation, the set up, the look was all good, but it delivered a simplified one dimensonal story we've seen many times before.
