This is a brightly colored, earnest 80s fantasy adventure with a distinct, charmingly campy sensibility. It feels like a Saturday morning cartoon brought to life, full of whimsical magic and a lighthearted, if sometimes clunky, sense of wonder. Expect a journey of self-discovery wrapped in a fantastical, retro package.
