The story was okay. I found the "reveal" to be quite anticlimactic and the characters a little rudimentary. I'm not sure if that was on purpose, to tell the story almost from the perspective of a child. Simple and whimsical but lacking a bit of sense. 

Yeah, it was fine. Can't complain but wasn't wowed either.
