The story follows a young boy trying to find connections and belonging through a time where it's difficult for him to have a sense of belonging. He goes on a long journey where he is bullied and made fun of because of his appearances. Through his journey, he discovers himself and his true identity.
This is definitely my favorite film of the week! Its perfect for KIDS FIRST!I like the message of the film. It is about self-discovery and identity and has a huge connection to today's societal issues. The animation is outstanding; it reminds me of classic animated film classics like The Iron Giant or Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The background music is great and fits each scene, helping convey messages through music and emotions. There are also visual effects that convey messages associated with identity and self-discovery. The director adapted this film from a picture book and it is really extraordinary. It is self-funded and produced independently. My favorite scene is at the beginning - I wasn't expecting the background music and character to start the story right away, which was great.
The film's message is that not everyone is the same; being different is unique and desirable.
I give The View 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. By Hafsa H., KIDS FIRST!
