Songs have been stuck in our head since first watch. Colourful, vibrant, heart warming and intelligent exploration of family and what it means to be unique. At the end of the day everyone's opinion is just that, an opinion, like everything you're either going to love it or not love it. And we as a family absolutely adore it! Refreshing Disney magic - relatable characters, good story telling, with immersive magic *Spoiler alert* The story explores people with gifts who are expected to perfectly uphold family expectations. Until our main lady joins the fray with no gift. Except, she can see the house beginning to crack - and uncovers the mental health struggles of the family, helping them unlock happiness, as well as learning to accept she's wonderful just as she is too. Others have moaned there's no plot - but that's not true - for those who know what it's like to not be accepted, or face anxiety, or struggle with workload pressures, not meet family expectations, and an incessant need to be perfect and not break this is an epic adventure - wrapped in great humour, music and magic. Also - love the house - and the magical rooms low key envy for how amazing they are.
