    As a Southeast Asian people, I love how this movie show that Asian isn't just about Japan, Korea, and China. Also how the message is what we really need now that's about unity in diversity. It's a warm movie to watch with your family. remember animation isn't always about kids.

    I did see it with my niece, and she enjoyed it as well. Aside from a
    cameo in the wonderful "Once Upon A Studio"

    it seems to have totally disappeared though -- I haven't heard any hint of
    a sequel.
