After dying unexpectedly, a boy's soul wanders in limbo. At a night market, he meets a mystical cat and recalls a broken promise—to deliver a doll and an apology to his sister. With the cat's help, he inhabits the doll to fulfill this heartfelt mission.

Even though it looks like a children's animation, it touches on very deep human themes of grief, unexpected loss, and the heavy weight of unsaid apologies. A very mature student work.

Sabrina Badran

very sweet and kind story, definitely perfect for a younger audience

Sergei Nazaryan

Милый и трогательный детский мультик

Johan Angel

Five minutes of pure emotion.

Ayumi Kobayashi

It is a cute, touching cartoon for kids, but a bit too sentimental for my taste.

Hugo Gessaga

As a student project, it is very well crafted. It is a genuinely touching kids' cartoon

WHERE CAN THIS PROJECT GO NOW?

The reviews above tell you how it landed. They don't tell you who buys it.

A Market Read is a structured market assessment of a finished film or screenplay: which buyers and platforms realistically fit, which channels are currently active, what is blocking a deal, and what to fix before you send it anywhere else. Nine sections, delivered in minutes.

Not coverage. Not a review. It's an honest read on where the work can actually sell — including when the honest answer is that it can't.

Start today and save 15%.

Built on the framework behind 5,000+ films and screenplays reviewed across 159 countries since 2015.
