It was not about Mirai, it was about a really awfully behaved boy whom shouts his mum and dad, hits his baby sister, craves attention rudely, and yells all the time.
The animation is amazing, but the story is not funny, not interesting, not thought-provoking, not moving. It drags and the imagination of the boy is confusing, interrupts the pacing and because the boy is so clueless that his behaviour is wrong, him being told the reality of things through imagination of his relatives is not enough to feel any sympathy for him. His parents let him act how he likes and it's tiresome to watch. The only character I liked was the father, as the mother acted selfish and rude, especially to her husband.
Such a shame because it could have been cute, with the idea, the soundtrack and animation, but the story and lack of redeeming characters fails this entirely. It was a chore to watch, I only got through it because I wanted to see if it got better. But it didn't really. The end at the station was well made but not enough to save the film.
