Soarin' (2022) is an interesting piece in the animation landscape, tackling the themes of aspiration and loss through the eyes of a young Tiger. It’s got a whimsical tone that contrasts with the underlying poignancy of the main character's journey to becoming a pilot, all while carrying the weight of his late mother's dreams for him. The pacing meanders a bit, allowing for moments of reflection, which feels fitting for the subject matter. While the animation style isn't groundbreaking, it has a certain charm that complements the narrative. The performances, especially from the vocal cast, breathe life into the characters, making their struggles relatable. It’s not every day you see a kids' film that approaches its emotional core so earnestly.
