The lockdown during the time of the coronavirus pandemic can get a little overwhelming (or extremely boring), so if you feel like self-isolation is not agreeing with you, watching an uplifting animated film can provide some relief.
A good way to kill time is to watch some feel-good and lighthearted films. What we watch and consume can affect our moods greatly, so there’s no better time than to watch something heartwarming on your screen.
