Several people I follow on SM who saw it already absolutely loved it!

And KMT was on Comedy Bang Bang today with two of my faves - haven't listened yet but I've heard it was a good one:

Reviews had me at "pretty!" I want to see it in theaters soo badly!

How is the Covid/movie theater situation where you are?

They're not open in my city, but there are little pockets across the province where some theatres are open depending on their number of cases. As of right now, the closest one open would be like an hour away.

Many theaters around me are open. One independent one that is very close to me is not, and I am worried that it closed permanently.

I think the cases in my city (Atlanta, GA, USA) are pretty high, and i have no idea what it is like inside the theaters. Most are probably limiting number of people per showing...

I have been very comfortable with outdoor events for a while now (the ones where i can easyly social distance), but not sure how i feel about an indoor movie theater yet. :(

There was a period of time from August-October when theatres were open in my city (Toronto), and I did actually go. I felt quite safe. First of all, not many people are going to begin with because I think they feel worried, but on top of that, they are also selling fewer tickets (50 per cinema max, at the time) and you have to sit spaced out (only allowed in every other row, and I think like, four or five seats between you and the next person, depending on how big the theatre is). It was a combination of people who didn't eat and wore their masks the whole time, and people who took them off to eat. Plus you had to wear a mask when you're in the hallways/bathrooms/lobby

It looks really pretty. And tbh, I'm not particularly interested in children's movies for their innovation. I just want it to be fun and enjoyable and pretty.

Thank you for the bullet points OP. This is exactly the amount of reading I want.

The movie looks super pretty, but the design of the dragon is a choice.

Great animation, beautiful animation.
