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
Aimed squarely at animation lovers. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 10 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
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).

There was an island inhabited by turtles. Their king above all else loved all kinds of praise and flattery, so subjects always followed them trying to play along to him. One day he decided to climb very high, using a very unstable structure.
