Whimsical & Lighthearted
A truly whimsical tale done with love and executed well. Animations provide backstory and they are illustrated with a classic timelessness that truly sets the mood for the early episodes.
It is a fairytale plopped right into the contemporary world and much like Secret Vampire, offers a humorous glimpse into how otherworldly creatures acclimate to being a part of- yet apart from- the human world.
The acting stays solidly grounded in realistic performance, ensuring the fantasy tone and story elements also stay grounded.
This is a lovely piece to watch on a cold night with your favorite blanket and a cup of cocoa with marshmallows.
It was delightful.
While it does complete the narrative arc, the slight open ended final moments leave the door open for a second season or a few special episodes.
Fresh characters, fresh folk tale presentation and some adherence to trope and genre does make it a little predictable, but the cast is so likable, you won't mind that you know where it's going.
