Fun prequel

This film is a prequel to the Wild Thornberrys series that I loved. It has a similar style but delves in quite deep into the backstory with lots of flashbacks. We finally get to see the origins promised in the title and while it's nothing surprising, it is portrayed in a funny and heartfelt way that really pays off.
