The storyline follows a young girl named Rebeca who loves to read and use her imagination. She tries to convince her neighbor Marcelo to play outside with her. Instead of joining her, he plays video games all day. The film is from Brazil but is non-narrative so there is no language issue.
It is important to remind children (and adults) that friendship is very powerful. I like that the young girl has perseverance and never gives up trying to convince her friend to play with her. The animation is fantastic and the quality of the production is amazing. The backgrounds are very well done and ties the story together. Rebeca and Marcelo are two children who are best friends. They enjoy opposite things but when it comes to using their imagination they are two peas in a pod. The directors, Débora Resendes and Luri Moreno worked very well together in creating a high quality production. My favorite scene is when Rebeca sets up an obstacle course to cheer Marcelo up after she drops Marcelo's gaming device into water.
The film's message is about the power of friendship and how opposites complement each other.
I give Alpha Generation 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12. By Keila V., KIDS FIRST!
