For ages 11+
Total running time: 73 min.
Content warning: Animated mermaids in Siren’s Tail don’t bother with wearing swimsuit tops. In Esperanza’s Turn, a girl who is an immigrant is bullied by someone who also bullies other kids by calling them an epithet used against LGBTQ people.
Two best friends – a thrill-seeking bird and a very cautious squirrel – help each other out as they survive adventures big and small in the small forest town of Acorn Acres and beyond. The lesson here? Be brave!
