We watched Wonder Park last night and it is best described with this new word we learnt from the show - Splendiferous! Yup, I think it means really, really splendid.
Maybe it was after a long day with the kids - we spent 10 hours outside - and I was feeling worn out and a tad emotional, I actually shed tears at the scene when the mum (Jennifer Garner) fell sick and had to go away, leaving June's (Brianna Denski) world cold, dark and forlorn.
I love how the two of them were always so close, letting their imagination run wild together, building models together, laughing and playing pretend in their own mother-and-daughter world - one which felt so real and alive. In the show, June's mother reminded her to "keep the light shining bright", regardless what happens. It's something we all tend to forget and tuck away at times, especially when life gets us down and we become afraid of getting hurt, of trying, of being alone. It's a good reminder not just for the kids, but for myself too.
The characters in Wonderland were cute and engaging, including Boomer the narcoleptic blue bear, Greta the wise boar, Peanut the monkey and ride creator, Steve the porcupine and safety officer, as well as Gus and Cooper the beaver brothers. They were hilarious, they were hardworking, they worked great as a team, they showed us what it means to fight for your passion - in this case, the park they love so dearly - and never give up.
Of course, the ending was a happy one and the kids were thankful to see that. But how many times in real life do we really get a happy ending, I wonder. Nonetheless, our takeaway from this show is to never lose our creativity and be able to play imaginatively, to believe that the impossible can be made possible, and to always have hope that dreams do come true.
Thanks to @uipsingapore for the movie tickets, we had a terrific ride through Wonderland. For those who have yet to see it, do catch the show before the holidays end, the kids will love it!
