7.0 / 10 · TMDB

One night Mia has a premonition. So after saying a few words of parting at her mother’s grave, she sets out on a cross continent journey, though mountains and jungles in search of her father, who has been trapped in a landslide at a construction site on a remote tropical lake. In the middle of the lake stands the ancient Tree of Life, watched over by innocent, bumbling forest spirits called the Migoo, who grow and change shape as they please, morphing from small childlike beings to petulant giants. The Migoo have been disrupting the construction to protect this sacred site – and now together with Mia they join in a fight to find Mia’s father and save the Tree, with the future of life on Earth hanging in the balance.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Jacques-Rémy Girerd constructs a gentle fable on the clash between innocent wonder and industrial encroachment. He relies on soft, watercolor-like animation to explore the bond with nature, building a world where magic feels organic and the environmental message is woven seamlessly into the narrative.

What lingers after the credits is a profound sense of melancholy and awe for the natural world, a quiet call to remember our place within it. — MovieFinder Editorial
