    Movie for children that is not for children.

    Just one warning, if you take your children to see this animated movie as I did with my 4 year old daughter, likely that they will be a bit scared as it has very dark and grim tone througout. Jokes are there in some parts but they are not funny and wrongly placed. Animations are very solid, also setting under the see and it's characters are very vivid and impressionable. My question is for which audience is this movie as it is advertised as family fun type of and it not delivers there. So if you are looking for carefree time and lighthearted movie that will lift your spirit and make you laugh I would the avoid this one.

    Good effort, not so good outcome!

    I wanted so much that this animation to be good and the only good thing about this animation is the movie poster, when you see the poster it put so much high expectations which is not meet during the mivie, graphic and animation is decent, voice over is soulless and very stiff and doesn't conveying any emotions, but the worst thing is the story, the story line doesn't make any sence and my 6 and 9 years old kids noticed that too, for example a boy that never spoke with any human suddenly speak fluently, and director wanted to tie the story to an plane crash that happened 30 years ago that doesn't make any sense.

    Special animation, full of love and light

    For years, I have not seen such an attractive animation with a smooth narrative centered on love and life from a different and creative perspective. A new and up-to-date story of preserving values, humanity, and altruism, which cleverly points out the fine details of the issues of the day. And also showing local customs and creating a happy and cheerful atmosphere and moments full of joy, laughter and pleasure along with sad and scary moments. And the use of native music from the south of Iran, which gives a much more beautiful mood to the images. And in the end, all of us received this beautiful life as a gift from our mother by the will of God, and you will see this issue and its value clearly in this movie. All in all you just have to see it for yourself to understand how amazing the story is πŸ‘Œ

    Not bad, Not good. for enjoing animation design

    Regarding my preview, I've broken it down into sections:

    Story: The pacing of the story is very fast, leading to many details being omitted. Additionally, important sequence are rushed, preventing emotional connection with the characters' journeys. The comedy in the story is good (4/10).

    Cinematic Performance: The traditional music is well-done, but some of the musical cues used between character dialogue feel out of place. Certain cuts and the overall storytelling sequence are not well-executed and cause confusion (5/10).

    Animation Design: The characters are designed exceptionally well and are very appealing. The animated world is vibrant and visually captivating (9/10).

    Overall, I would score it a 6/10.
