First of all, abusing the title of John Bunyan's book " A Pilgrim's Progress" doesn't make your movie great, doesn't make it look like it is the same story, and it definately is not alike that story. Much in this movie is not Christian at all. Seems they prefer to please the world rather than bring a genuine Christian "fantasty" movie. A "fabled good king"? Meaning God? The acting, the special effects, the story, it is all bad as can be. And much in this movie is more from the evil side than from the good side. The only good work is the cinematography/camerawork. Some may see this as finally a "Christian fantasy" movie, but the last part is more present than the first one. Avoid it if you can.

I m glad not to hear that awful commentary that David Attenborough always gives. However, in some ways the commentators act as if we are children. They can't help it, it's the text they got to read. Though a beautiful doccumentary showing that even such a small country like The Netherlands has impressive nature, the documentary has no line, no plot, and lots of animals and birds we see are not named leaving the viewer with questions.

Still, it does impress and stimulates people to think about not just protecting nature in far away tropical paradises but also nearer to home

Oneof those few gems in annimation that comes along every some years.... A must see, preferable during Christmas, but also any other time of the year enjoyable. Sit back, relax, laugh, cry and go to bed happy.
