How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A cheerful animated romp through rural New Zealand where lovable misfits navigate romance, sport and farmyard chaos with good humor. It feels like settling in with a beloved comic strip brought warmly to life.
