Time is no issue

No pun intended - obviously time is always an issue, but it seems that time spend behind the mirror ... is not used to the fullest effect. What is .. key to that? Well exactly that one might answer. But more puns aside, the movie has a serious theme and it is about bullying - about mobbing, about what goes on in schools, no matter who you are and when you went to school.

Hopefully you never had to experience it, but I think most of us had some experience with it. Some more, some less so. The movie packs this all in a fairy tale setting - and with quite the understanding mother to say the least. That doesn't happen to often. Neither in reality nor in the movies. So good for this and good for us.

Great animation, really tight story and what an ending ... you may choke a little bit! You may also have guessed some of it - especially things/persons that can't be missed ... and with this last pun I let you go ... into a (hopefully) better future.
