This is a truly lovely screenplay that would make a wonderful film for children. Fun, educational, loveable characters. The story is well thought out and the dialogue is funny. It offers a wonderful opportunity to showcase India's landscape - even in animated format. With a little tweaking, it could be even better. Has great themes about family vs. the world, tradition vs. modernity, loyalty vs. betrayal, good of community vs.. Good of self. These are all terrific themes for children. They can easily relate to them. Most children who watch this wouldn't know enough about India to understand everything in the story. If the author could bring in some background on the religion and traditions, it would help bring the story home. There is a bit of inappropriate language and name-calling that needs cleaning up and stealing, which should go away. Other than that, great story.
A young girl gains greater appreciation for the lives around her when she disobeys her family's sacred beliefs and must risk everything to rectify the damage she has caused.
You too can become a film critic!
