Based on a series of books by cartoonist/author Stephen Pastis, this quirky movie follows the (mis)adventures of a young boy called 'Timmy Failure'. Basically, this is a emotional drama that is trying to be cute while dealing with loss (a parent leaves by choice) and fear of future, but this entire fictional bizarre story is a bit slow and not that funny as you might think. Even if the intent of this original film is noble, a lot of its charm is lost in translation to the big screen. Besides the lack of a clear storytelling, the CGI work on the polar bear was great but that character didn't really do much. It is just OK entertainment from Disney+, no matter the film isn't your usual Disney kids movie being odd and different and just slightly entertaining. I think children aged 5 - 10 might enjoy the book more than this movie. Me personally, I thought this would be much better than it was.
