You won't be disappointed!

Good movie but grossly overrated

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I was accidentally subjected to this by the daughter of a friend, and now if I'm channel-swapping late at night I usually end up watching it in favour of the rest Freeview has to offer. The animation is deceptively smooth, the main characters are both likable but different and with a good sense of continuity, the lessons are mostly in line with what I would want my (nonexistent) offspring to learn. The bumbling adults provide the most amusement to me, as with most kids TV. My only tiny issue is something that I wouldn't normally bother complaining about, except this programme goes out of its way to preach animal care over and over again. And yeah, good for them but a) if your teachers beloved pet dies PLEASE do not instantly buy it a replacement pet that looks exactly the same unless you hate her b) if you love birds but hate cats do not buy your small child a cat and then whine and bitch about how it chases your birds c) if said cat climbs on the furniture, do not stick said cat outside because seriously did you not know what a cat was d) Spay and neuter, but I stuck this down the bottom, because I didn't want to sound preachy. But if you HATE CATS AND LOVE BIRDS maybe you shoulda thought of that you utter klipspringer
