- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone with a best friend they'd call at 3am and a family movie night, this one's for you. The friendships are the beating heart of it. Shelve it next to If Anything Happens I Love You or Kitbull.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 10 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG: a parent's death or loss. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
María's routine at school is altered by the arrival of a very special child. Soon, they become close friends.
