This f-ing brilliant animated film does an incredible job capturing the struggle of leaving tween years and becoming a full-on teenager. Not as popular as "Encanto" I have to say I enjoyed this one more. It's smart and layered. The choices by the characters are nuanced, the resolution more real than idealized. Just a terrific movie for young folk -- and their parents -- to watch. Wraps Chinese culture into the story a lovely way and respects both the traditions and the struggle of younger people growing up in these cultures. The characters aren't all good or all bad and even the lead can be irritating at times. This one I would watch again.
