Together, they must protect the pod from the villainous Mandrake and his army of Boggans, who seek to rot the forest and plunge the ecosystem into eternal darkness.

Editor's Note
Biggest Strength The film features breathtaking world-building and vibrant "macro-photography" style animation that makes the forest floor feel like a sprawling, epic fantasy landscape. Biggest Weakness Despite its visual splendor, the plot relies on a very predictable hero's journey template that feels quite similar to other "shrunken world" movies like FernGully or Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
