Writer Pfister has said the story is ultimately about the beauty of sharing, but recent detractors have said it sends out mixed messages about individuality, acceptance, coercion and boundaries, in turn sparking debates over cancel culture.

Wow! I remember those drawing! I don't remember the story tho
