MELORAKA AND HER AUTISTIC FRIEND BLOBBLOT cover image
Cute short animated film with adorable characters.

The story's main character is MeloRaka, a kind little poodle, who becomes involved with an autistic blobfish named Blobblot, who has a unique take on the world. As they spend time together, MeloRaka begins to understand Blobblot better and bit by bit, their relationship grows. Part of the intent of this film is to introduce young audiences to neurodiversity and encourage them to accept them.

The animation is well done and the characters are appealing. One thing that doesn't appeal to me much is the use of a squeaky voice for the main character -- I find it grating. Also, the background music is very repetitive and doesn't add much to the over impact of the film. Otherwise, it's a cute show and has an admirable purpose.

I give MeloRaka and Her Autistic Friend Blobblot 3.5 out 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 8, plus adults. By Janet S., KIDS FIRST!
