SMALL FOOT: A
A clever family film full of laughs that tells its story to adults through well crafted dialog, while showing the story to a younger audience through visuals.
Didactic, yet gentle, a sprinkle of Laurence Kraus and a dollop of Christopher Hitchens made its way into a not so subtle philosophy. The message here was clear. Question, discover, and learn. Ask why. Know why. Understand why. A mind is meant to be open, not closed.
The film also illustrated beautifully how the root of most conflict is a mixture of misunderstanding and miscommunication. And how the origin of solution comes not from the mouth but from ears. Only when the mind and the heart come together do we find the greatest sense of moderation.
The voice work here was decent, but the animation deserves most the credit for bringing the characters to life.
A film for the thinkers and a film for the non. Not many do that. This one did.
