The endearing children’s story of “Stellaluna” the fruit bat comes to life in this cute animated movie. The entire story that is in the book is in the movie, with a few new characters for added fun. A jumping, super-hero spider vows to be Stellaluna’s bodyguard and two fashionable parrots try and give her advice on becoming a better “bird”.

With some catchy songs to give it a nice boost, this is a cute story about an “orphaned” fruit bat who tries to fit-in in a bird’s world that is upside-down to her. The only aspect that may be a tad scary for young toddlers is when an owl tries to attack the bats and then when the bats chase the owl away. Stellaluna sings a sad song about not fitting in and says she feels like a “freak”, but other than it is a wonderful movie for kids of all ages.
