The charming and sometimes-poignant animated film Space Cadet doesn't have any dialogue, but it's very effective in telling its story about a young astronaut and how she deals with personal losses and triumphs.

This isn’t a story about moving forward to look back, though. She doesn’t go to space to find her mom. It’s about looking back to move forward instead. For both to find themselves.

Wonderful work from the helmer, who creates an all-ages movie that appeals to young viewers with its playfulness and sense of exploration, while an older audience is treated to a sensitive understanding of the parental experience.

A tender, warm, wise and heartfelt animated film that explores the meaning and importance of friendship, loneliness, grief and following one's dream. It's one of the most moving and profound animated films since Up, Robot Dreams and Wall-E.

'Space Cadet' is simple and tender with essential lessons for the youngest members of the family, but when viewed through adult eyes, it stirs your heart with a great deal of nostalgia and tender moments of love. [Full review in Spanish]

The art and animation was beautiful and expressive of the storyline. It doesn’t matter that there is no dialogue. The writing and screenplay was beautiful. The soundtrack… well of course it was perfect for the film. A great movie for the family as well.
