Orion is an ordinary kid who is afraid of most things, especially the dark. Frustrated by Orion's depth of fear, one night the personification of Dark pays Orion a visit, with twenty-fours to convince him (together with other anthropomorphised night-time entities such as Insomnia, Quiet, Unexplained Noises and Sweet Dreams) that night-time is actually all right. Like a cross between Monsters Inc, Inside Out and Rise Of The Guardians, this straightforward and well-told tale - with adaptation input by Charlie Kaufman - is brought to the screen with a pleasing lightness of touch and many lovely visual ideas. Jacob Tremblay does very good and engaging voice work in the title role, making this an utterly charming Dreamworks animation with the sweetest of endings.
