Stick Man

Stick Man is an endearing adaptation of Julia Donaldson's children's book featuring the voices of Martin Freeman, Sally Hawkins and Hugh Bonneville. It remains faithful to the rhyming text.

Stick Man lives in the family tree with his family. Stick lady and stick kids or should they be twigs?

However while he is out for a jog he gets snatched by a dog and there begins a series of events leading him to be taken further away from home and seemingly no chance of finding his way back to the family tree as the seasons come and go. Luckily for Stick Man there is a festive tinged ending in sight for him.

Stick man takes a lot of knocks in this heart-warming CGI cartoon adaptation but he is a kindly soul but at a loss as to why people do not see him as a person but just as a stick.

As a slightly cynical parent it is easy to be dismissive of these types of Christmas day special cartoons but I found this to be charming.

My two and a half year old grandson absolutely loves this movie and watches it on a regular basis. It teaches some good lessons for youngsters and the characters make sense to young children. I find the gentle voices are just right and the story line progresses at a rate young children can easily follow. I have watched it several times and as yet I have not got bored with it as there is so much to point out to my grandson. With another one on the way. I think I shall be watching it for a few years yet!

Delightful! An incredible voice cast. Endearing animation. A wonderful, adventurous tale to be revisited often by folks of all ages. I give this film an 8 (delightful) out of 10. {Animated Family Short}

I recently watched "Stick Man" (2015), and I thought it was a charming little film. It's based on the beloved children's book, and I appreciate how it brings the story to life with colorful animation and a simple, yet engaging plot. The adventure of Stick Man as he tries to get home to his family is both heartwarming and relatable for kids and adults alike.

The animation is quite nice, with a whimsical style that captures the essence of the book. The characters are cute, and there's a nice mix of humor and drama that keeps you invested in Stick Man's journey. My only criticism would be that some parts felt a bit drawn out, making it lose a bit of momentum in the middle.

Overall, I'd give "Stick Man" a solid 7 out of 10. It's a delightful watch, especially for families, but I think it could have been tighter in pacing. Still, it's worth checking out if you're in the mood for a light-hearted story about perseverance and love.

Nothing special to say about this movie except that it is one of those best cartoons or animations based on a book. Simple, magical, funny, sweet, inspirational. For example it inspired me to build some small device similar to branch and let river or even just a stream bring it to far far away. Something I always imagined as a kid. Also flying in air either in real vehicle or in from of toys like drones. Good for Christmas and New Year. Reminds me of some religious or spiritual teaching that even branches are alive.
