I'm a big kid at heart. I love stories for kids as well as adults. This one started with nonsense -- a planet that was lush with life, but suddenly became empty desert. The water suddenly disappeared! But the story completely ignored this vital ingredient.

This ignores the very idea for how land ever gets water.

While the graphics is colorful and the blockish characters well animated, the character motivation was frequently off kilter and poorly founded.

This could have been enjoyable with the right foundation, but basing a story on nonsense without reason can only be tragic.

The end of the movie is equally ridiculous, but no spoilers, here. Simply one big let-down. As a writer and former Hollywood artist, I'm very disappointed.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.

The once beautiful Planet Kepler is now dry and near destruction after its precocious Callaro plant was exploited to extinction. Three brave space kids - Axel, Jono and Gaga - embark on a daring mission to rebuild their desolate planet.
