Meh. I started out just enthralled with various aspects… the realistic animals, the mouse, the story line of the Elfhelm girl dancing on the wall.
I didn’t watch it with my grandkids but I would have had to be reassuring them in SO many places… when abandoned by your remaining parent, and your aunt, and explaining how bad your dad turned out and so much more. I accepted the plot right up to when it became unfollowable… and the let down was swift and sadly permanent.
