Скачать или смотреть Valerie M. Spreads Her Wings: A Review of The Secret of Butterflies

The Secret of Butterflies is like a fever dream. It sends a powerful message, but it has certain qualities that I found a bit unsettling.

The storyline follows Ryan, a bug who has always dreamed of being a butterfly. He lives in a house with other bugs with no memory of how he got there. One day, he finally escapes the house and begins his journey to becoming a butterfly.

This is a great film for younger audiences. I found the story itself very interesting. Ryan has to deal with limited beliefs, bullying and even corruption. In this world, butterflies are seen as the most beautiful creatures to the point where butterflies feel like they have the right to step on other bugs because they are better. In the end, we see how everyone is equal no matter their appearance. I particularly like how the main villain, a white spider named Liam, is portrayed. At first, he appears friendly, even praising Ryan, telling him how special he is and how hard it is to find bugs like him. This shows us that not everyone can be trusted. I also appreciate that Ryan attempts to fix his mistakes. He even admits that he was wrong and apologizes instead of letting the fact that he helped everyone be his apology. This film gives me a strange feeling of nostalgia and discomfort that cannot be easily described – it reminds me of old cartoons made in other countries. Note that the animation style is very different from a Disney 3D animated film. Some of the characters end up triggering the unsettling feeling a person gets when an animated character appears too close to reality. I felt that some of the voiceovers don’t convey emotions very well, which makes it hard to tell what they're feeling. When Ryan and his friend argue, I didn't realize that his friend was mad until he said so. For its North American release, an English‑language dub was created featuring the voice talent of Innes Maas, Tara MacPherson, Jaryd Pilay, David Wilke, Jake Maisel, and Janeke Huisamen.

The film’s message tells us that friendship and teamwork will always be better than exploiting others. Be aware that there is a lot of fighting, death and an attempt of suicide. However, nothing is bloody or gory.

I give The Secret of Butterflies 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 8. You can find it on VOD or digital beginning August 5, 2025.
