5.0 out of 5 stars Even better then the Book, July 1, 2011

This review is from: The Gruffalo (DVD)

A truely beautiful short film based on the childrens book, "The Gruffalo". It played on cable during the Christmas holiday 2010 and we were able to DVR it. My children (boy aged 5 and girl aged 3) ask to watch it about once a week, especially if we read the story at bedtime. I personally like to watch it, and most of their shows I cant stand. The movie uses only the words from the book, and does an excellent job retelling it. It shows the circle of life, where every creature in the "deep dark wood" is being eaten by something else; mouse sees all this and comes up with a plan to escape the same fate. An excellent story, we just love it. I cant wait for the DVD to come out - Im sick of fast forwarding past all the commercials.

This review is from: The Gruffalo (DVD)

This film was really cute and my boys were totally captivated as we all sat down and enjoyed the film together on a relaxing Sunday afternoon. The cartoon work is really beautiful throughout the film and it was just really such an enjoyable story to watch it even held on to my attention really well!
