The film has a strong emotional core, beautifully capturing the complexities of family dynamics and small-town life. The casting of Jim Parsons is a perfect fit for the role, especially if you have seen his previous works. The cinematography is breathtaking, showcasing the vastness and beauty of rural landscapes, showing the strength of Dreamworks Animation recently. However, at times the narrative feels overly sentimental, relying too heavily on convenient plot devices to elicit emotions from the audience. Despite this, the performances are genuine and engaging, elevating the film’s more contrived moments, and will be fun for children and adults alike.
