I am not at all surprised to learn that this spawned a TV series this year, because it felt like watching the first episode of an anime series. There are a lot of characters fighting for attention in these 26 minutes, and most of them don't get enough screen time to build any kind of characterization, but the world it's built is fun and cute, and it's definitely something I could see appealing to kids. I'm glad to hear that more is coming of this, even though I'm certainly not going to seek out any further installments.
2 stars.
