Following Haruto, who starts life anew as a baby prince, the film is filled with quirky humour and charming characters. However, it sometimes falls into predictable patterns, relying on well-worn clichés that can feel a bit stale. The animation is bright and lively, which adds to the overall charm, but the plot lacks depth and can leave more discerning viewers wanting. It’s a fun watch if you’re looking for something light-hearted, but don’t expect anything groundbreaking. It’s a film that’s easy to digest but may not linger in your mind long after the credits roll. Show less
