Expert review

This animated musical creates a colorful fantasy story built around a very childlike worry, starting a new school, and turns it into a gentle adventure. The main sensitive elements are a witch who looks threatening, the kidnapping of the little blue rabbit, brief chase scenes, and moments where characters seem separated or in danger. The intensity stays mild to moderate, with no graphic violence and very little realism, and the tense scenes are balanced by songs, playful imagery, and reassuring allies. For most children, the strongest reaction will likely come from the witch and the worry surrounding the endangered rabbit, rather than from anything truly harsh. I would recommend it for most children from age 5, while younger viewers around 4 may benefit from watching with a parent who can talk through the back to school anxiety and remind them that the fantasy world remains safe overall.

Synopsis

With the help of the Little Stone, the Hedgehog and the Great Bird, Emilie saves little blue rabbit Gilbert and the fantasy world. Throughout her adventure, she discovers the value of courage, friendship and generosity.

Difficult scenes

The beginning of the film focuses on Emilie's anxiety before starting at a new school. This fear of not making friends or facing a difficult separation may resonate strongly with children who are sensitive to change, even though the scene stays calm and age appropriate. The story inside the book presents Gilbert, the little blue rabbit, as a kidnapping victim after he crosses paths with a frightening witch. The threat remains fairy tale like and not graphic, but the idea of a small character being taken away can still create worry for very young viewers. Once the book world comes alive, several scenes show Emilie facing an unfamiliar place, unusual characters, and mild tension around the rescue mission. These sequences may unsettle children who are not used to fantasy adventures, although the songs and supportive companions regularly soften the mood.
