See the films the platforms disagree about most →In a budget motel located just outside the gates of Walt Disney World, a mischievous six-year-old girl and her ragtag friends spend their summer having adventures. The film follows her world from her perspective, a magical place of innocence and wonder, while her young mother struggles to make ends meet and keep a roof over their heads, all under the watchful eye of the motel's manager.
