This film acts like it has a deep message by using overdrawn ways of saying what kit means with tearjerkers that weren't that sad and an ending that doesn't make sense if you think about it. The tree monster has an uninspired design that was just a big wood person with branches on its back. The main character is a kid who can't understand stories because he thinks that everyone is either good or evil or that the stories that the tree tells him are directly applicable to his life. Some of the plot points don't make sense like how he can destroy an entire rooms worth of furniture without realising.
