Sometimes you get a hold of the movie, which makes instantly clear to you that it would be impossible to produce it in US (most of the movie production), or other studios around the world. That is mostly because Scandinavians have a very "intimate" way of depicting mosty anything in their movies. Their movies are often focused on interrelations that are often deemed unacceptable or inappropriate in other countries.
Good example would be "Let the Right One In" (Låt den rätte komma in), which would be essentially impossible to record in US.
Beyon Beyond has substance, the characters are not black and white - they are complex; both bad and good at the same time. All of the movie is in positive, childish tone, which makes it a pleasant experience to watch and learn from it, especially for children.
While this movie is not something "stellar", like Nauciaa, or Laputa, or Wall-e..., it has qualities beyond the ratings. The way this movie is made, is characteristically immersive, specific to Scandinavian culture, and I absolutely recommend it.
Watch it with your kid, and let it learn from it. We made a projection for 4yr old boy who loves spaceships and rockets, and he really liked this move. He asked to watch it again at some point later on.
