The storyline follows Merry Bella in her match up with boys in basketball and soccer as she is coached by Mountain Bear. The animation is pretty well executed. I'm impressed that it uses freely available 3D animation technology, which allows a filmmaker to create something without having to purchase exorbitantly expensive software. The story is well developed and the lyrics are inspiring. I'm just not fond of the singer's voice, which seems a bit cloying to me. Still, it works for this short video.
The message is an inspiring one for young people to be their own star in the sky.
I give this film 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 8. Reviewed by Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
