At first, I knew there was such a book, and I wanted to buy it and read it, but I really didn’t have that much free time. Knowing that there was a movie version, I chose to watch the movie first and then read the book. The story in the movie is very simple and very healing. The adventure part is very warm, the color palette is bright and warm, the idea of ​​the story is very good, and there are cute animals, which is really touching.

Family and family bond, the atmosphere is also very full, the soundtrack is great
