The animation was beautiful and the story was fairly straightforward. Thankfully you get a lot of title cards to remind you where you are in the story, but a little more map work might have helped. I got some Moana vibes and almost felt like an opening song was going to start as the plot was explained, but sadly there were no songs and very little music that I can recall.
It definitely tugs at the heart strings, and I like a movie that moves me emotionally. Upon leaving the theater, I think I personally connected more with the opening short "Us Again".
