Featured review
a GOOD "trauma"
This movie scared me as a kid. I probably only watched it a couple of time but message stuck with me for life. The movie portraits the consequences of human activity in the forest in such a intense and powerful way. It is indeed a dark story that probably traumatizes a kid a little bit, but in a good way. The overly light tone of today's animated films are nice but not as effective education-wise in the long term. Anyways, it is not a movie I enjoyed watching as a kid just because of its dark tone, but I get why it was done this way. I give it a good review because it is memorable. It is hard to remember a movie by the way you felt when watching it. There is value in that.
