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
One for parents and kids watching together and anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 25 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

The prophet Lehi preaches repentance to the people of Jerusalem and is persecuted. After he and his family leave Jerusalem he is told by the Lord to return and obtain the brass plates containing the sacred books of Moses. Nephi and his brothers muster their faith, obedience, and determination as they return to obtain the plates from the wicked Laban. 1 Nephi:1–5.
