" Date: 6/12/2020 Viewed: Netflix First Viewing Note: I remember the Internet buzz for this movie during the 89th Academy Awards and I always wanted to check it out for a while now.

This charmingly animated story about a kid who ends up in a home for abandoned children is exactly that. As a result, all those story beats feel very mild, fluffy.
