You have three wishes! Go!
Of course Din, our dear, kind-hearted Din, can’t go. What he wants most in this world can’t be granted.
It has to do with Li Na. She’s gone from the neighborhood and on to richer things. But she still remembers Din and their friendship, right? If there ever was a time for him to find out, it’s now, with the help of a wish-granting dragon from a teapot.
Don’t let the extremely-on-the-nose opening sequence scare you off. What we have here is a wholesome story for the whole family to enjoy, one that highlights the deep joys of human connection. You’ll smile and chuckle plenty—and breathe a sigh of relief when you realize it’s not another story where a dull boy pines for an impossibly perfect girl.
Smooth, soft animation rounds out the feel-good feeling. Though we’ve seen this idea done before, good execution is good execution.
