Kristoffer: ...And know this, as the swallow twittered beneath the eaves, this is not adieu, but au revoir!

It seems to be asking, how can anyone dislike a movie that is against child abuse, and believes little red wagons can fly? I found it fairly easy. The movie pushes so many fundamental questions under the rug of its convenient screenplay that the happy ending seems like cheating, if not like fraud.
