JKM’s review published on Letterboxd:
Max used to live on Planet Drool. I remember, he used to come home and tell us stories about being abroad and I remember that he told us he sailed on a milk river once, on a cookie.
He smiled,
Dreamt, without sleeping
And he gave Sharkboy martial arts
The Ice Princess was freezing
She was always sneezing
But she gave him the crystal heart
Here's to the ones who dream
Foolish, as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that ache
Here's to the mess we make
He captured a feeling
A planet freewheeling
George Lopez inside a frame
The plughound bites stinging
Lavagirl's awful singing
But I'll always remember her flame
Here's to the ones who dream
Foolish, as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that ache
Here's to the mess we make
He told me:
A dream journal is key
Full of crayon colors to see
You snooze, you lose is how it's been
But with Max, you snooze, you win
So bring on the journals
Unleash the internal
From Minus to Linus, now friends
And here's to the fools who dream
Crazy, as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that break
Here's to the mess we make
When everyone thought Max
was cool
Him, the tornado,
at school
Smiling through it
He dreamt
and went back
to Drool.
