“Happiness and strength is something you earn.” That is what Princess Tia had to learn in her journey.
The illustrations were simple, colorful, and clean-cut, but I think they would benefited with more liveliness, so they wouldn’t be too stagnant and stiff. Also, some of the pictures didn’t quite illustrate the action in a particular scene. For instance, in the part where Princess Tia leaves and feels that first instinct of fear, the picture shows a smiling maid and brooding butler standing next to a piano. Shouldn’t it have shown the princess with a look of fear on her face and anxiety in her pose? And what about adding some close-up shots, like when Tia first meets the helpful mouse? That’s would’ve been nice to see.
I liked the concept of a young girl venturing out, looking for fun and adventure. Of course, she learns the hard way that there are dangers she must be wary of. Being aware is a good thing for children to learn. “True life wasn’t easy at all.”
An okay little tale.
My rating: 3 stars
