The coloration on this film is very well done! It is not only on points but highlights each characters mood and personality. The message of this film is also on point as well as it is behind true that so many with intellectual disabilites are highlighted for their quirkiness and not who they genuinely are much like people with dwarfism were in the past and if they had none they were deemed useless and institutionalized until the 90s, even now society thinks Autism is able to be grown out of it, and as such so many go without the help they need as funding is only funn d into the childhood aspect and only 4 institutions in the United States go beyond childhood. This piece highlights the need to see individuals with Autism for their genuine abilities and not their stereotyped ones and to look beyond stereotypes.

What a great movie. For once we get a story about an autistic character not about their parents. And I loved the animation at the end - so funny!!!! - Alex A.
