I rewatch this movie once a year to remind myself of how much I love it
A deeply emotional and beautiful tale about parenthood, growing up, and finding your way that is rarely shown in animation
One of the best feelgood movies out there.
Not perfect but still touching. A bittersweet tale about maternal love and identity.
Never underestimate how much care your mother has put into raising you.
Such a sad movie, definitely a tear jerker. Keep tissues near by you.
Such a beautiful movie! It’s now my favourite movie of all time!
Beautiful depiction of motherhood. Well done.
Absolutely beautiful. Definitely worth watching. Have tissues handy.
Emotional from beginning to end. My favorite kind of movie. Already in tears.
