Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of fantasy fans and animation lovers. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too. Shelve it next to Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender or Doctor Strange.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 9 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Long ago, four extraordinary beings of dual male and female spirit, led by Kapaemahu, brought certain healing arts from Tahiti to Hawaii and were loved by the people for their gentle ways and the miraculous cures they performed.
