Why It's Great[]
- It has strong messages about brotherly love
- It shows great respect for the Inuit people and their culture
- The animation is beautiful, capturing the look and feel of the landscape it is set in
- There are plenty of moments that really get the audience to care about the characters
- The characters themselves are pretty likable, whether it be Sitka as the caring older brother or Rutt and Tuke as the Canadian moose who provide good comic relief
- It's clever in not having a villain and instead just having a big misunderstanding between two brothers
- The soundtrack is gorgeous, particularly with the song "Great Spirits" by Tina Turner and the "Transformation" song
