"You don’t wanna miss this one, it’s truly adorable! So glad to have found this gem ( on Netflix💎 8.24 ) because I ended up loving everything about it - the colorful animation, the creepiness of the “bad guys”, the originality of ALL the characters most especially the “Imaginaries”🫧, and the ending was great, too!
This is at the tippy-top of my ranking scale with some of my other animated favorites like Hilda, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, Coraline, The Elm-Chanted Forest, Mune: Guardian of the Moon, and Kubo and the Two Strings. If you like any of those I think you’ll like this, too!"
"The sheer number of ideas this film has is, on its own merit, stunning, not to mention the animation and music!
The characters are so vivid and likeable. From scene one, I was grabbed and rooting for the characters. The villain is spine-chilling and has a truly classic dark feel. Mr. Bunting (the villain) has such a great dark mirror side to the story that brings the movie a great edge.
The way the film explores its concepts of imagination rightfully so has its own leaps of imagination poured into them. And wonderfully enough, I never felt like we had an overabundance of world-building or over-explanations... everything fit just right.
A truly captivating movie that I will absolutely be watching again. Genuine animation magic."
