While the art is mediocre, the characters and heart that this movie has will distract you from that soon. It really gives you insight into the difficulties the characters face surrounding Momoko's disability, including her parents, brother, classmates, and most importantly, Momoko herself. I enjoyed the focus on the disabled characters, and I feel like this movie helped me understand them better. Some people have different needs than we do, and even though it may take a little adaptation, we shouldn't shy away from them! You can find a valuable friend in anyone. I think that's important for people of all ages to learn.
And, be ready for a tearjerker. Since this movie deals with a lot of emotional themes, it's probable that by the end you'll at least have teared up. I actually had to grab a tissue and pause the movie to wipe my tears.
Overall, an enjoyable experience! If you have an open mind and about 1 hr 20 min, you and/or your family can have a good time. Just keep the tissues nearby.
