Another wonderful Disney film, with the story centred on a South American family who are forced to flee their village, and are saved my a magical candle which hides them in the mountains to build a new life, but also provides one family with magical powers which they put to use for the benefit of the rest of the village.
The animation is fantastic and the soundtrack is a bit more modern than typical Disney...which to be fair is hit and miss. The story is as you would expect, very heartwarming.
The message they convey is that you don't need to be special to be important, and that actually deep down everyone is special in their own way. There are other messages that touch on the importance of family, and doing what you feel is right, not what is expected of you.
Sometimes the film feels like it tries to push those messages at the expensive of the story, it's a little too obvious / forced at times, that's the only reason I am only giving it a 7. Otherwise, really fun and very funny family animation, well worth a watch!!
