OK submitted by VanCancue on August 9, 2018, 11:48am It seemed unnecessary to keep repeating the whole name of the characters. There was nothing to learn from that repetition or entertaining. However it was a lesson to learn that anyone can do anything they want and should be included no matter who they are . Art can come from anywhere it's just a matter of curiosity and passion.

from my 8-year old submitted by robinfowler on July 23, 2020, 8:30am It was about a polar bear who just wanted to dance, but at his friend's dance class they didn't allow polar bears to dance because the teacher was very strict. And then he gathered up his friends and they finally did Goldilocks, a musical with ballerinas and stuff.
People will like it who like fiction and like people who like polar bears and animals.
