Whimsical. That's my review in one word.
It's a charming movie for kids that is still a joy to watch as an adult. The children are charming and hilarious while the adults are fun and friendly. The world is full of playful, mysterious, and harmless adventure.

I love this movie. I don't understand it but I think it's a great exploration of character and conflict, warning of the shortcomings of community, and showcasing the perils defining yourself through others.
And the dialogue! I love how conversation is woven in this movie, almost as if…
