You have to be in the right mood for this film. It is more about poetry than plot. So, if you are in a reflective mood, the images, music and words may weave a magic. I was not, so I struggled with staying awake, and filed it away for another time. Great voice cast. Clever visual presentation of the poetry. Although there is a child in this film, I don't think there is enough of a plot to keep their attention. My experience of this film was a 5 (meh) out of 10. I couldn't stay awake to finish it.
