I am. Confused.

What would happen if the Swallow had to fly for the winter and didn’t come back for the rest of the winter? What would happen then?

Imaginative with no scary bits

It is super good because it doesn't have scary things in it. I really it because the story is really imaginative and it's so cool how the flower pops up and there is a little girl in it. (my 6 year old daughter's description)

Film is much better

Watched the film as a kid. The story lacks a lot of descriptions and the voice acting is awful

A great performance ruined by bad editing

The production is bad. The edits are too close to the speech and it makes the story a little incoherent at times. It’s more an annoyance- so it might just be personal.
