Beautifully animated and brimming with heartfelt warmth, Kensuke’s Kingdom is a simple story that doesn’t rely on surprises to captivate. Its glowing charm and stunning 2D animation make it an under-seen gem, especially for families with younger children. While the animated category this year is undeniably stacked, this film’s tender storytelling and visual splendor would make it a worthy Oscar contender in another season. A delightful surprise that deserves more attention.
