Yes, it's a weeper for sure. Plus beautiful animation and great voice cast!

This is a kids movie, without a doubt. There is no real attempt to put in humor that might go over a kids head, and the plot is very basic.

But man oh man is this a delight! GORGEOUS animation full of rich detail. Amazing performances by the voice actors. A sense of wonder and beauty throughout. And, for sure, it packs a powerful emotional punch.

I keep trying to comment on how much this movie made me feel things but nothing seems to do it quite justice so I give up. But I legit sobbed (and was far from the only one). I also laughed! There's some dark humor that totally works!

Overall, I'm happy I saw this on the big screen because the animation (and score!) are beautiful in a way I'm not sure I would fully appreciate via streaming on my laptop.

There's also a short lil' post-credit scene in case anyone is wondering if they should stick around.

I thought the background/forest animation was great, some of the animals kind of odd looking (like the bobcat), the voice acting just ok - but the story was pretty great for a kid movie, and I was sobbing in the audience too.

I thought the violence was kinda random - like the robots shooting was oddly bad. I thought they could have left that out.
