Plot: Roma, Toto, and Drop are a trio of boys who love to go on adventures. When they take their drone out for a spin things take a turn for the worse. Their drone crashes and a forest fire starts closeby. Even though it has nothing to do with the boys, they fear they might be seen as the culprits. To prove their innocence, they need the footage from the drone.

A pleasant anime from Madhouse, the only real negative here is the atrocious soundtrack. I don't know who picked the songs, but they are cheesy as hell, and they actively take away from the mood. It sounded like a bad J-pop band needed to plug their latest album and used this film to do so.

The animation is nice, though the character designs are a bit simple. The first half of the film offers a nice adventure, while the real heart of Don Glees is revealed during a lengthy outro. A more skilled director could've done more with this, but if you're looking for a short, sweet, and adventurous anime, this won't disappoint.
