The kids hit 10 years old... the age of reason for most children.
Leo does a good job exploring mental health. Shows that best friends, adults and children alike can and do suffer from anxiousness, jealousy, enviousness, self-doubt etc. Best thing to do is discover who a person is, instead of judging them or blaming them for their insecurities or anxiety. Everyone has troubles. No one is special in this regard by being free from such things.
Like all animations there are adult jokes in there - however Leo didn't go out of its way to hide them, which was an unusual execution.
The animation was smooth, and bright, and expressive - however it suffered from its texturing. The objects, fabrics, skin etc., were all just smooth.
In terms of story, there was very little action or adventure which is unusual for an animation. It spent more time dealing with character, and understanding each other. It was only in the third act that any tension or excitement was created through action/adventure. However, this doesn't mean it was boring, the story was enough to keep you interested.
For me, Bill Burr's small parts and quips were the highlight of the film, this and its willingness to delve into mental health issues for children.
