Scenario
Two Irish orphans travel across America by train, meeting villains and heroes
They find an unlikely friend and search for a new home, facing adventure and danger along the way. The main character “Nick” is based on the director’s son Nico, who had the same disease.
I love this movie!
The movie is dedicated to him because he died in 2021. It’s great to see a disabled child represented, which resonated deeply with me as I work with disabled children.
My 5 year old loved it too
The plot isn’t very deep, but it’s one of my favorite animations in a while – honest and funny. Some of the scenes, like the ones with the wolves and the guns, were a little scary for my daughter, but not too much.
One of the best animations I’ve seen in a while
Loved the characters, especially Sparky the dog who was an adorable addition. An emotional, inclusive story that made me cry in the best sense of the word.
