What is the story like?
The magical animated adventure about the curious ten-year guy named Angelo (expressed by Kristen McGuire). When his family accidentally leaves him on his way to the road, Angelo moves through a strange and mysterious forest to find his way back. Along the way, he meets fiercely, face wild challenges and reveals how brave and kind.
Is that good?
This is a visually creative and emotionally rich animated film that mixes fantasies with real feelings. Animation is playful and changing style depending on whether to see Angel’s imagination or its true journey, which is the story to feel magical and unique. Children will enjoy silly moments, strange creatures and fast-step adventure.
At the same time, the film explores deeper topics such as fear, sadness and growing up. Some parts can be confusing or intense for the younger viewer, especially the danger scene and sorrow. The story touches with important topics such as courage, kindness and holding your dreams – but sometimes trying to do too suddenly. Since the film is originally made in French, English votes do not always suit the mouth movements, which could be a little interfering with some viewers. The story may not land for everything, but his creative style and cordial moments will like many families.
