The storyline is about a sweet anthropomorphic sparrow, Petronia, who sings about her ambition to become a majestic eagle. The film takes us on the musical journey of the sparrow's dream with beautiful animation and a tune that tells of her ambition.
I like the sparrow singing about her dreams for a bigger life. The beginning scene is a little bitter-sweet due to the reasoning behind the sparrow's song and her wish to be an eagle. I like how quickly and easily the music tells the story. We are treated to a realistic flight of an animated eagle soaring across beautiful landscapes and waterways into a big cosmopolitan city. The animation is crisp and colorful; the characters and scenery are quite lovely and very detailed. When the birds take flight it feels as if you are flying along with them. The backgrounds are very realistic looking - the building and scenery below -- which makes this animated film easy to relate to. Aside from the opening scene, most of the scenery is shown from a bird's perspective. Petronia is more cartoonish than the eagle or the backgrounds, but she is drawn in a pleasant way. There is one song throughout, sung by Callen Fu, which tells Petronia's story and her ambition. It is pleasant and quite catchy. My favorite scene is the opening scene when the birds are flying all over.
The film's message is to dream big.
