Macaroni Serenade (2017)

We are incredibly blessed that this movie is available for us to see, and we should take advantage of the opportunity we’ve been given. 

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.

The animated musical adventure beings fantasy and magic to viewers as they follow Keegan and Moya.

At least we got the original cast back, right? Not even that saves it. None of them could bring a sliver of hope to this special. Rather, they bring dread as we witness the light leaving from their eyes.

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.

Neo Sora left a realistic and yet hopeful notion for the near future and the now.
