Historias Breves 25 

I like discovering something new among the old and Tubi has an assortment of horror films from cinema's past for just such an occasion.

A lonely little Hawaiian girl and her mischievous blue alien friend form a bond that heals both of their hearts, as well as ours. This live action version adds emotional nuances—notably in the sisters’ dynamic—while preserving the charm of the original.

Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.

Facing the world with our fair share of uncertainties and/or apprehensions, many of which, sadly, may be well-founded, is nothing to sneeze at. Influenced and buffeted by the constant barrage of social media, fake news, and general upheaval present in our contemporary reality, what IS real and what's not becomes a blur.

For viewers who love eating burgers, shakes and fries on the go along with a tasty side of nostalgia.
