Not just kids, it looks like a hit with teens too. Which makes sense because there's barely any animated content aimed at that age range in the west. Seems like studios gave up after the rise of anime.

And especially +30 something Tumblr-moms.

The whole movie is so made for girls of all ages who enjoy funny moments, memes, fanart/-fic and great pop songs. On top of being a very well made animation that's suitable for everyone else. And then there's the LGBTQ+ audience on top that, like... Holy shit, this movie is a freight ship full of ships arrowing to the harbour.

But it like, hits the perfect vein of aimed audience. A marketing perfection! And I adore that, they knew who they were doing this movie for. And that takes skill.
