Tony Fucile.
Mitchell is stoked when his dad takes him bowling, but knocking pins down proves more challenging than it looks. When frustration sets in, his dad suggests they be on the same team, and together they bowl a perfect strike. Energetic, retro-toned digitized cartoon illustrations express the allure of the lanes while a passionate Mitchell typifies every child's struggles with a new skill.
