A summer animated movie that will warm your heart
22 July 2021
Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop is an unusual movie title, but it will make sense when you watch it, and you will feel warm inside with its beautiful meaning.

The animation is colorful and vibrant, it will for sure put you in a summer mood and take you back to those summers that never seemed to end, and that you didn't want to end.

You'll be smiling through the entirety of the movie, as it takes a touching unexpected turn in the second act that will grab your feelings and not let go.

The character's insecurities are pretty much part of their personality and are properly handled throughout the course of the movie, through subtle and not-so-subtle changes that show growth, acceptance, and confidence, more evident in the male protagonist, Cherry.

I would've liked to see a bit more development with the female counterpart Smile, but she was endearing and relatable nonetheless.

Overall, I really enjoyed watching this, a definite high note in this 2021 summer season.
