    Adventurous, arresting

    You don't see many cinema adaptations of animal documentaries. Judging by this movie, this may be a mistake. An exciting and captivating story of two polar foxes and wide, high-quality shots of arctic nature had my attention throughout the entire length of this movie. I was.surprised at how many plot twists could this movie offer, even though it was just a sequence of foxes' life events. Although not human, these actors delivered the ingenuity and quite successfully evoked empathy, as I laughed from cute little squeals of the foxes, feared the thuds and loud barking of dogs, and felt happy for them once reunited, after many adventures and almost imminent death of the male.

    Overall, cute little movie, kids might like it, although the ones that were in the cinema with me weren't too captivated, unlike myself. Thanks to the French producer team, cheers from Ukraine.

    As beautiful as it is boring

    I love animal's stories, and this one is certainly beautiful. I don't find artic fox as handsome as comon foxes but they are so cute. The landscape also is magnificent.

    Here, on imdb it shows that there are two narators who have done the narration. However I am watching it in Autralia and what I heard is definitely a male voice, unless my ears are playing tricks on me. Nevertheless I was not overwhelmed by it. But it was ok.

    I wonder, adults apart, what kind and at what age of kids would enjoy it and stay with it?

    As an adult, I found that the manipulation of the story was too exagerated and so highly improbable. And it was, as a result, so predictable.

    But the look at the animals in the story may be worth staying with it, if you have nothing else to do.

    A Breathtaking Journey into Nature

    Kina and Yuk is a visually stunning film that captivates audiences with breathtaking nature shots and a heartfelt message about the relationship between humans and wildlife. The cinematography beautifully showcases vast landscapes, immersing viewers in the wilderness and reinforcing the film's core themes of coexistence and respect for nature.

    While the film successfully conveys an important environmental message, it occasionally leans into sentimentality, making some scenes feel a bit overly clichéd. Additionally, the depiction of wolves is not very realistic. Nevertheless, the film remains a compelling experience, blending adventure with emotional depth.

    Despite these minor flaws, Kina and Yuk is a wonderful movie for both adults and children. It balances entertainment with an educational aspect, making it not just an engaging story but also a thought-provoking one. I loved the film, there should be more like it out there.
