But will Daniel loosen up and open his heart to new friends?<br><br>I really like how the film delivers strong messages through positive, uplifting and inspirational songs.

The film has a lot of&nbsp;wavering fantasies and unrealistic things mixed with realistic, half-funny jokes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IjNF4qfCsK4\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>The storyline follows a girl who is raised an orphan, Lilly (Sherry Hursey) who, as an adult, opens a foster care center in a lighthouse where she takes children on wonderful and magnificent journeys and brings joy to everyone\u2019s life. She helps a boy find happiness and imagination and takes all the children into an imaginary world that they make a scrapbook of to show people in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lillyslight.d-Copy.jpg?resize=225%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6443\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lillyslight.d-Copy.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lillyslight.d-Copy.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lillyslight.d-Copy.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lillyslight.d-Copy.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though I didn\u2019t resonate with the storyline, the special effects and animation are well executed.

My favorite part is when they are in an imaginary pig-style version of Camelot with talking pigs that make jokes. This part is overall hilarious and ties together the deeper parts of the film.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is a bit corny and some of the dialogue isn\u2019t very realistic and doesn\u2019t draw you into the story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film\u2019s message is about joy, bravery and making the best out of what one has.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give&nbsp;<em>Lilly\u2019s Light: The Movie&nbsp;<\/em>3 out of 5 stars recommend it for&nbsp;ages 6-13, plus some adults.&nbsp; People who really like unique and out of the ordinary fantasy films will particularly enjoy it.&nbsp;It&nbsp;is currently streaming via <a href=\"https:\/\/gathr.us\/screening\/31704\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/gathr.us\/screening\/31704\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gathr At Home<\/a> for children and families to watch and sing-a-long together<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lilly\u2019s Light: The Movie<br>By Giana N., KIDS FIRST!

The scenes switch back and forth between the past and the present as the story is told. The set of the movie is colorful and appealing. For example, the colors of the furniture in the lighthouse give the house an artistic vibe. All of the songs in this film have a positive message. For example, the song \u201cLife Is Full of Possibilities\u201d gives us the message that anything can happen in life. I like the talking goose, but the part I like the most is when Daniel realizes that he needs Lilly, because even though his grandmother is no longer with him, he has a new family now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of <em>Lilly\u2019s Light: The Movie <\/em>is family isn\u2019t just your relatives, but it\u2019s the people who love and care for you. There aren\u2019t any inappropriate things to look out for in this film.

I also like the computerized characters that come to life.&nbsp; The background music is magical with lots of sound affects showing off certain moves, songs and games. The film is adventurous and playful. The costuming is especially creative and colorful. There is a point in the film where Lilly and the kids switch to a different time period. The costuming in this era has many medieval renaissance dresses and clothing. The background and setting starts in a colorful, magical lighthouse with has tons of cool inventions. My favorite thing is that the movie promotes imagination and inventions. The film may be a bit long for its intended audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple messages from the film.&nbsp; The recurring message is that life has endless possibilities and you should stay true to yourself.
