In June, when Sony Animation’s film joined Netflix’s 2025 releases, I had no intention of watching it. However, once I heard good things about it, I decided to give it a try from my couch. To my delight, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie! My initial thought was that it was an uncommon heartwarming film that executed familiar storylines skillfully while introducing something novel and exciting, which made it a refreshing experience compared to other films I’ve watched. It brought out the child in me in the best way possible, making me realize instantly that it would become my go-to comfort movie. Additionally, this movie surpassed many Netflix records, earning it the title of the No. 2 original from the streaming platform overall.
