Reviewer notes

Not recommendedTrusted family reviewers
This is by no means a waste of time. It is a fun, whimsical, engaging story about kids doing their best, with parents interfering with their duty to protect the planet. The writing is ok, the casting great, the directing and effects certainly good enough.
