Fluffy as a French pastry and almost as cloyingly sweet.

There's a crabby, gleeful spirit to the whole thing, carried along by animated bursts of imagination, snippets of haiku, and spirited song. Amid all the disgruntlement and dismay, there's a sweet we're-all-in-this-life-togetherness.

Quirky animated comedy follows a family's ups and downs.
