Jumbo

About This Movie

Jumbo (2025) is an interesting mix of animation, comedy, and drama, with a surprisingly heartfelt core. The story centers on Don, a kid struggling with his self-image and the weight of expectations. The animation style has a distinct charm, blending bright colors with a more muted palette during the emotional beats, which works well. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, especially when it dives into the ghost subplot, but it adds a unique flavor. The voice performances are solid, particularly the actor voicing the little ghost—there's a nice blend of humor and sincerity. It’s a film that feels personal, touching on themes of loss, friendship, and self-discovery without getting overly sentimental.
