A feel good movie. Not just for kids. Plus a lesson about acceptance, worth, and not having to fit in. Also about restorative joy. Beautiful songs and of course Shawn Mendes ' amazing voice. The family aspect was beautiful too. And the villians were not that villianous, showing forgiveness and repentance. Even the implausible became palatable, literally. I liked the cinematography as well. They didn't skimp on anything. Even the cat was well played. CGI but it needed to be (like Call of the Wild CGI). If you want to laugh and cheer on and rediscover hope, and have a few twists and turns along the way, I highly recommend Lyle. Now, I want to read the book series with my family.
