Here is an animated film that finds new beauty in ancient traditions; a film that fights back against the temptation to surrender what little magic this world still has left, and fulfills Cartoon Saloon's promise along the way.

Cartoon Saloon continues to prove that 2D animation is still capable of delivering emotionally compelling stories through gorgeous-looking, unique, artistic drawings. Outstanding voice work from Honor Kneafsey and Eva Whittaker.

This animated feature is unpredictable, beautifully rendered with unfinished foregrounds and sketchy figures, but makes it up for the distinctive art style.

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/21 Full Review Marcela Great movie for the family. Love the style of the artwork. It's a definite must see for tje kids. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/21 Full Review Helene I Great story, good messages, and interesting animation. I really liked it, as did my granddaughters, 8yo and 12yo. Enjoyable for all ages. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/21 Full Review LeeLooLaguna This move is by far worth being in anyone's collection! The art style was organic to match the nature themed storyline. The characters didn't feel flat and the emotions were shared well with the audience. I was expecting a bunch more names in the credits but it seems like smaller companies all worked together to bring this animation to life. I avidly enjoyed going to the theatre during "Covid" to watch this!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/20 Full Review Travis T Interesting and fun story!
