So, 'Joey and Ella' is an interesting little romp, directed by Stephen Shimek in 2021. It’s got this quirky vibe, blending adventure with comedy, which feels pretty family-friendly but not in a nagging way. The pacing is quite lively, especially when we see Ella, a teenager dealing with her own family issues, connect with Joey, the baby kangaroo. There’s this strong theme of loss and healing that runs throughout, giving it a bit more depth than you'd expect. The practical effects with Joey are charming; they really bring the character to life. The performances are surprisingly heartfelt, especially the bond that develops between Ella and Joey. It’s kind of nice to see a story where both human and animal characters experience growth together.
