Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids, this one's for you. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 7 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Stumbling across a mysterious bone sparks the imagination of three kids, who decide to seek scholarly wisdom from a palaeontologist and see what clues they can dig up.
