Desmond's inevitable death gives a very important lesson to Big Ears that he eventually grows up to take after his elder brother.

Thoughout the film, you shall be teared by the family's noble love along with several soul-catching songs like I Wanna Be by The Monkees and Echoes of the Rainbow.


I wanna be free,
Like a bluebirds flying by me,
Like the waves out on the blue sea,
If your love has to tie me, don't try me,
Say goodbye.
