From the start, it is very colorful. The story line is very basic and easy to understand for children of all ages, it's a very innocent, sweet movie. I was a little socked and more than disappointed at the extemely abrupt ending. I guess I just wanted more, although the story ended in the traditional Happy way, I was expecting a Happily ever after/years later...type scene for the end. Or maybe I just liked it so much that I didn't want it to end, but my son was nearly speachless throught the whole thing, very engaged.I thought the end was so cute when they have the different little images that the kids drew and they give them their little spotlight.
