CinemaSerf7/10

An Hubley family enterprise that begins with their children's imaginary performance of a fairy tale about "Princess Polly" and "Prince John" - except that the two girls are way too easily distracted by things in their garden and the realisation - in the real world - that you can't actually marry your sister! Meantime, the animation strives to keep up with their characterisations featuring castles, chivalric knights, damsels in distress and, of course, a great big dragon! Soon tiring of that story, we now find ourselves with a bright giraffe and a kangaroo bouncing all over the place. The narrative comes across as a charming and entirely spontaneous conversation between the two youngsters at play and the stylish and colourful drawings cleverly parallel that meandering chatter, as does the clever use of sound effects leaving us with an end product that is quite an unique and stylish animation full of vibrancy and movement. Not a great deal of wind, though!!
