Movie #2130 ........................."Wolfwalkers" (Disney +)

Movie #2130 "Wolfwalkers" (Disney+) And here's one more animated feature that is nominated --- once again, I don't think it has much of a chance, but it is worth a second look, I think.  The story is quite involved, but it deals with being kind to nature, feminism, a strong bond of father/daughter and mother/daughter.  There's a HUGE fight at the end that I didn't much like (because I don't like to see a lot of violence, esp. in animation) and it seemed a tad long, but still worth watching for its message and it is a an action film;  it's just so different for an animated film.  Culturally diverse again, too.  It has a" frozen" type relationship between the two girls who learn if they work together they can save the one girl's mother --- that's nice to see in a film.  I'd give this 3.8 out of 5 and recommend it to those who read the synopsis below and think it looks like an interesting story to follow.
