The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

A young boy searches for home, along the way he encounters a brave and friendly mole, a hungry and ill tempered fox, and a wise horse.

This truly was a beautiful thirty minutes, a real story of hope and optimism, it's a short film that will have a definite appeal to all viewers, young and old, there is truly something for everyone to take away from it. A definite relevance for anyone to take away from it.

It's good fun, it's adventurous, it's truly heart warming, there are many things you can take away from it, I just found it so beautifully moving, so very sweet, just lovely viewing for this time of year. Truly that good, I watched it twice.

The animation fitted perfectly, a simplicity and lack of complication that just worked, as did the soft, accompanying music. The BBC hasn't been shy with promoting it, and the lovely images have accompanied its program introductions.

Great to hear so many instantly recognisable stars, I just loved Tom Hollander's mole.

Every year we get an animated short, this is up there with the best of them, it's absolutely marvellous, 10/10.
