Featured reviews
I remember this children's story book, When I was in primary school and I like it, The Hand-Drawn Animated adaptation of the story did captured the illustrations very well, the music score, the voice acting and it captured the story book's spirit very well, It is very faithful to the book, It is about the teenage boy and his younger siblings are going on a bear hunt, But when the family saw the bear, They will go back home very safely, It is very good story for children for all generations from the 1990's to the present time, It is very Charming and very Delightful, I'm giving this adaptation of the story book a 9/10 and Merry Christmas.
Captures the spirit of the book beautifully, right down to the last page. Needless to say, to expand this into a short feature means adding some new layers and dialogue but this merely adds depth and structure to the story. Weaved within is everything you want from the original book, alongside perfectly crafted animation that evokes perfectly the source material. Our family and three children loved it, notably our three year old who screamed with joy at the sight of "a bear".
Brought a tear to my eye. Loved it.

The music in this film is lovely, the animation is beautiful, the theme is deep and real. For anyone who has ever dealt with loss, this film resonates in a beautiful way. My three year old asks to watch this with me over and over, and loves it.
This delicate British animated short film, 24 minutes long, premiered during the 2016 holiday season and still retains its charm. Its visual style is unmistakable: the landscapes and characters immediately evoke the classic *The Snowman*, with a refined, serene, and deeply evocative aesthetic.
The story is simple yet effective-ideal for children and also for adults who wish to reconnect with their childhood. With a gentle and poetic approach, this little gem manages to move viewers without relying on artifice. It is a charming, tender, and visually delightful piece, perfect for sharing with family and getting carried away by its melancholic beauty.

A good story doesn't need fancy animation and I was looking for a beautiful story to be told in the simple lines of this short animation.
But as the story progressed, I kept thinking to myself, "This is how children die!" This is not healthy exploration, but a bunch of kids taking unnecessary risks. There are at least two times, that if this was real life, these kids would not have made it.
Yes, it's symbolic of a deeper meaning, but stories have to be believable, and this one is not believable.
Still worth watching for the beauty that it could have been.
