This fantasy world is not Narnia, Neverland, or even the jungles of Nam, as the title might imply. In fact, it’s not a place at all, but a moment in time where the flights of boyhood imagination test their wings before the winds of change cascade them to the sacrosanct dogmas of adolescence.
Though it never really lives up to its title, this sweet and safe fantasy will keep your little ones in their seats, but that’s about it. It touches on all the themes in the animation hall of fame, and therein lies the problem. It touches upon the themes instead of exploring them.
