What many people don’t know about the Sundance Film Festival is that for several years it also has offered screenings of kid movies. Better yet, the Utah Film Center collaborates on the festival’s “Kids” section and shows the films later in Salt Lake City at the Tumbleweeds Film Festival.
This year the films include a documentary, an animated feature, an animated short and an anime film:

Lu Over the Wall / Japan — Kai is a lonely teenage boy who befriends Lu, a fun-loving mermaid whose singing is hypnotic to all who hear it. World Premiere. Age recommendation: 7 years old and up
