The message of the film? Young girls it’s time to rebel against your mothers who clearly only want to suppress your fun.
Look, the film is fun, it’s quirky. The animation is great. But I’m not sure this is an entirely appropriate or helpful message for the next generation of girls entering womanhood. At least, it doesn’t do it in the right way. There’s too much emphasis on independence for the majority of the film and not enough on the repairment of mother daughter relations.
