Delightful and funny, with a few sour notes that tarnished my enjoyment - the throwaway line describing a 3 year old girl as a "temptress" (from a 7 year old boy's point of view) fell flat and felt a little gross. Also didn't love the narrator's choice to use stereotypical accents for characters from India, Japan, etc. Didn't seem especially necessary and was more distracting than anything.
