Perhaps the director wants to show too many things, such as honor, bravery, responsibility, chance and pain, and food is interspersed among them. Before the arrival of Maskiro, the island was a joyous island. The origin of all suffering is due to Masquiro's over-curiousness, which led to the sudden death of the queen. And then what happened after that was like Paminominos, one after the other. The island was forbidden to cook soup, and the giant squirrel was not allowed to appear, the king became sad, and the island was dead. The perpetrator, Masquiro, is forced to flee into the spooky world of the giant squirrel. Here's a clue. In the other world, the little mouse Depero was exiled because of his bravery in the socialization process of the mouse, unlike a little mouse. The royal chef is another theme to be represented, and the princess is another theme. I think this is just a sub-theme, and what the director wants to express is a big theme that can string these sub-themes together, so as to reveal some revelations of life.
And this theme is too huge. Even if the director makes the characters in these sub-themes meet and intersect one by one, what is the common thing between them? I don't think there are too many plots in the movie for us to see. The only thing is that everyone in the ending said "I am sorry" next to each other.
