This beautifully illustrated Pixar/Disney film got the short shrift due to various factors of the moment, but it shouldn't have. An "issues" film about immigration and bias, it creates a story with a fair amount of sensitivity and depth. It has, as is typical for Pixar/Disney, fun songs to hum along with and a nice humorous character ... except that in this case the humorous character is one of the leads. The messages are there ... acceptance, taking time to see the full picture before reacting, understanding that there is more than one way to look at what we think we know, the power of love, etc., but none of them beats you over the head. The whole tale is tender and sweet. I enjoyed it and could see this as being a film I would return to and rewatch.
