Lost and Found

I saw Lost and Found as an admirer of Jim Broadbent and as a fan of the source material and animation. And I found it truly magical, that was every bit as good as its source material if not better.

The animation was beautiful, it was never overdone but quiet yet atmospheric with crisp backgrounds and bold use of colour. The characters were convincing in design and movement too. The music had a nostalgic feel to it, and was also hypnotic without being obtrusive.

Another strong point was the story. It was a simple, but very touchingly told story, with one of the most heartwarming messages I have encountered in a film or short film in a while. The characters were so likable and engaging. Jim Broadbent's narration was soothing and just perfect.

In conclusion, a must see. 10/10 Bethany Cox

It is perhaps hard to see how anything is perfect, a 10/10, but I can't think of any other score for this. Based on a wonderful book this is stunningly animated, wonderfully scored, and skillfully narrated by the marvellous Jim Broadbent. This brought a year to my eye at times and I am a 41 year old. My kids love it, I may love it more!

Only two reviews???...oh, my, god!!! There really isn't a lot to be said here other than the company is one of the very best in the world and should be doing feature films...they did an amazing job here on this (remember this is only about 16 individuals)… The soundtrack is wonderful...the design work and lighting is wonderful...the STORY is great (most important part) and they have a lot of kudos from me.

It was a very special Christmas that they put this film on because we had this and also the return of Wallace and Gromit. It may sound silly but this film really made the Christmas because it was so very good...when you see something of very high quality you tend to get a real buzz off it and this one had that.

Traveled to south pole on a small row boat for thousands miles? really? what's the point? friendship, i know. but not to justify a movie on this.

Emotional rollercoaster, exploring senses of belonging and new found friendship. This animation truly does the book justice. Would recommend for all ages, I personally found myself enjoying this film when I first watched it as a young child and still finding this a very enjoyable watch now as an adult as I can further appreciate the themes and some of the beautiful imagery that is used. Dare I say my favourite animation of all time. Narration by Jim Broadbent is done perfectly and I struggle to think of someone that could have narrated much better. Furthermore the narration isn't overused and is brought in at the perfect times. This timing of spectacular narration accompanied by a soundtrack that captures and reflects each emotion flawlessly results is a short film that is audibly and visually an utter masterpiece with a well deserved BAFTA award to show for it.
