Sillyish concept and lots of clever smirk worthy pop culture allegory, but at its core still a cozy adult bedtime story. It felt like being tucked in and taken care of on a dreary day.

BUT- also…

SO MANY FEELINGS! I was blindsided thinking it was low key and got caught crying in public multiple times over a few scenes. Do not underestimate how moving this one can be.  (Adventurers, artists, kids… those aren’t the only dreamers. Prepare to have your heart ripped out.)
