I'm not sure who is less enthusiastic about aircraft, me or John Krasinski.

I couldn't get especially invested, despite finding the animation beautiful and the protagonist likable. The first half was planes, planes, planes. When the sister would show up, I'd be like YES more of this, but then it was back to planes. He meets the girl, YES more of this, back to planes. The one guy says, "We thought you were going to marry an airplane!" and so did I.

I was more into the second half.
