I'm a lousy story teller, which is part of being a reviewer, I guess. However, in this animated film about knowing who and what we are and having the courage to follow our highly specific paths - I was caught short and made to think.
Too much for children? How could that be since children will see this movie through different eyes and fewer experiences than we have had as adults. The darling little orphan bear Koda would be, I think, enough for children to identify with.
As an adult I was struck by the idea of each of us having a specific purpose in the scheme of things. Something I believe, but have difficulty living.
This is both a simply delightful animated film which children will enjoy because of the silly moose - their dialogue is a hoot, and the poor rams who almost kill themselves by responding to an echo because they don't understand what an echo really is. In the watching, it's funny stuff.
If you know the joke about "there must be a pony," all I can hope is, "there must be an Oscar," soon for this intelligent and delightful animated film.
