This is a bit of a slow burn sorta movie, especially for kids. That being said, the storyline still grabs their attention. I went with my 9 year old and my 6 year old and both laughed and giggled at different parts. They also understood the sad bits and the hopeful bits as they were shown in a very inclusive and kid friendly way. Overall, despite some pacing issues, a really nice low energy movie with a heartwarming ending a message.
