Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
