JACK THE MOOSE

Overall this is a wonderful premise for illustrating life stories to children of all ages. The concept of a moose being mistaken for a thoroughbred racing horse is wonderfully preposterous and plays well into the underdog triumphing against all odds genre. But the concept is more than that. It's about a kid who doesn't look like the rest of the kids coming into his own. It's about being the best racer one can be and it will resonate with kids who see heroes in all shapes and sizes. This re-statement is here because of its importance to kids' growth and their understanding of how it feels to grow up. This is a really fun vehicle. Opportunities abound for humorous dialog and silly animals making profound statements - I'm reminded of Zootopia- and they should be ferreted out not only to enhance the moral structure of the story but also to create that goal of all good animated features, a level of story that adults enjoy too.

Mistaken for a rare-breed horse, a young moose is shipped across the ocean to compete against the world's fastest thoroughbreds.
