This is a good script. It's well-written. The author obviously understands formatting, dialog and pacing. The character development is good and the emotional through-line which defines the arc of the protagonist is strong. We're engaged and invested in the outcome of the story. I think we'd be surprised at how many kids will relate to this story - and just as importantly, how many adults will also.

One of the attributes of Disney-style animation is its ability to carry a kids' story and an adult story simultaneously. This script does that. It tells us that growing up is difficult; that raising children while trying to keep one's life moving forward is difficult. And - as this script so poignantly points out, that raising parents - or having to act the part of a parent in the absence of one while trying to grow up is even harder. Nicely done.

I give this 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. Reviewed by Juror #10.
