This movie represents how love can transcend time and play a vital role into our own life and choices.

Our number 1 choice, although only the animated version was nominated for Best Picture, we do believe the real life version is a winner in our hearts. This film portrays love beyond appearances, social backgrounds and personalities. It shows how love can help you change and find the real you.
