Children's dreams and growth

Watched this movie together on the recommendation of my daughter.

Like most American animated films, the story is rich, dynamic, and inspiring.

The story is mainly from the perspective of a little boy Timothy, telling everything he saw and experienced. He is about elementary school age (similar to Guoguo, no wonder she recommends it, it seems that she has some ideas) and enjoys the warm life of a family of three. For the protagonist, it is a stable triangle relationship. As a result, when his parents discussed with him whether he liked to bring him a sister to play with, Timothy categorically refused. People don't like to change the good status quo, and it is not easy to accept uncertain changes.

The following plot may be Timothy's imagination, because it is too bizarre. The child's nerves are particularly sensitive. He sees that his mother's belly is getting bigger, and the energy of his parents is more removed from him. He subconsciously feels the danger of being abandoned. One day, the younger brother came, and he was the boss. All the emotional and material resources of the family were taken away by the younger brother. Timothy felt very lost and helpless, and with it came anger. However, in the struggle with his younger brother, he found himself helpless, and his younger brother's various powerful abilities directly crushed his big brother.

Then, without fighting or acquaintance, the two of them reconciled and are ready to share the love of a family together. During the gradual communication and understanding, they learned more bizarre things. The controller of the company has a conspiracy to take away the happy life of their family. It became the danger they all faced together, something they fought against in unison. After their parents were deceived, they embarked on a journey to save their parents and their families together. In the end, after mutual cooperation and unremitting efforts, they finally defeated the conspirators.

In the end, the younger brother who came suddenly before continued to return to the company and became the boss. Timothy welcomed the birth of his sister. This time, he accepted it with the attitude of actively sharing his love. The relationship was very harmonious and the family was happy.

In an extremely absurd way, the story tells the family relationship in the eyes of children, including parental care and brotherhood. There is always an insurmountable psychological gap between people, especially between different ages and different genders. When we tolerate, understand and accept with a sincere and loving heart, this gap is easy to bridge. Conversely, the chasm will widen until the relationship is torn apart.

When Timothy and his boss brother went from struggle to reconciliation to cooperation, it was inevitable that he had a strong and complex emotion. When this false relationship is really lost, it actually brings more regrets. Therefore, after his sister was born, he projected all the emotions that could not be placed on her for a while, which could be regarded as self-comfort.

If the whole story is a dream, this kind of dream in the child's heart is also a kind of self-healing and growth. Thanks for this movie, watching a wonderful movie with my daughter is far better than telling her some boring truths.
