Review of Stellaluna (2004) by Kevin R — 18 Aug 2015

I am not a very good bird!

A little fruit bat known as Stellaluna is separated from her family as a young bat and finds herself in a birds nest. The birds raise her as one of their own, but Stellaluna as she grows older finds more and more aspects of her life that doesn't fit in with the birds method of survival. Stellaluna will eventually search for her own parents and family with the support of her bird family.

"Maybe I can find a way home.".

William R. Kowalchuk Jr., director of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys, Camelot: The Legend, Ben Hur, In Search of Santa, and At Jesus' Side, delivers Stellaluna. The storyline for this picture is just okay and fairly straightforward, maybe cliché for the genre. The animation is nothing special and the voices were not really provided by any recognizable names.

"I can see in the dark!".

I came across this on Netflix and decided to add it to the queue to watch with my daughter. She enjoyed it and was glued to it from beginning to end. I do recommend watching this with your child, as it's worth a viewing, but isn't good enough to own on DVD.

"It's cool being a bat.".

Grade: C+.
