I recommend this movie for a fun and enjoyable watch, as it has a cute and engaging storyline. While the characters may not be very memorable, the film still offers a good time. There are instances where the movie could benefit from less dialogue and more adventure, perhaps cutting down on certain cartoonish elements. This adjustment could enhance the overall experience and make it more captivating for the audience. It's a great movie for kids to watch and have a good time with, although the characters may not leave a lasting impression. Dark, in particular, stands out as a potentially memorable character, while the lead character may fade from memory over time. Despite its shortcomings, the movie is entertaining and worth watching, especially for a casual viewing session. While it may not be a film you'd revisit often, it can serve as a pleasant distraction or background entertainment during chores or other activities

While I wouldn't say this animation is as good as other works of Charlie Kaufman, or anything exceptional (even when you consider that it's audience is children) it certainly was a joy to watch this movie. And I also got to appreciate the dark a little bit more after watching it.
