This charming family animation is a Danish production, voiced in English, the first feature from animator and storyteller, Kim Hagen Jensen, who first learnt the art of animation working on hand drawing All Dogs Go to Heaven, back in 1980s Ireland with Don Bluth. Though the technology has evolved, his focus on story and visuals can be seen in this warm-hearted tale of a young girl who controls her own and others dreams to try and make sense of her changing family and the world around her. Colourful and humourous, Minna’s dream world comes alive on the big screen.
