Featured review
Great story and great animation combined
Not going to lie, all the other user reviews infuriated me. They claim that the animation is great but the story is non-existent. This is just false, since all stories have great stories AND incredible animation.
This film contains three different stories, one about a family of tiny people living under the water, one about a mother and his child who suffers from a severe food allergy, and one story of an invisible man who's overlooked by everyone.
These stories all have different feels to them and even different artstyles.
I definitely recommend watching it, since it showcases beautiful animation and heartwarming stories.
