  Honestly, this movie didn't really evoke too much for me. The storyline was simple and sweet, and the screenplay was arranged well, but the only message or dynamic I took from this movie was that people are ignorant and dismissive of children.

I get that films don't need to have gripping storylines or philosophical takeaways to be good, except to me they kind of do.
