Featured reviews
Heartfelt story about our lives through a puppy's eyes. If you love animals it is a must to see this animated film. Colourful and ingenious portrayal of human nature.
I only watched this French language animation last month and it left an indelible mark on me. Indeed, love can be so simple, Marona showed us.
Life threw the doe-eyed Marona into the deep waters, the youngest of the litter, she was picked to live with her daddy. But fate has it that she soon found herself in the streets and having to spend her life with different owners.
The movie has beautiful imaginative artwork with splashes of vivid colours and shapes. The long sequence of Marona's run towards the end of the movie is an amazing artistic accomplishment.
But most of all, the story really shows us how simple love should be. It's just about being there, always being there for your loved ones.
"Marona's Fantastic Tale" is a poignant and enjoyable movie worth every second of the time I spent in the cinema.

This is probably most impressive movie about relationship between dogs and humans...But that is just a cover or carrier wave. Its about true love and happiness. Made me think about humans and their false feeling of happines.
The style of animation is so impressive , remind me Waking live. Made me feel her ability to appreciate every little touch of a person that can share love , also ability to understand and let go beloved person to make that person happy. If half of humans are like Istvan, world would be such a beatufil place ....
I really feel ashamed being human now, and wish to be more like dog, cat or animal (maybe because i am dog in chinese cal. ). Now like 40 minutes after watching it i still cry like i havent cried for years.
Bless the authors of this masterpiece. I sincerly thank you for that from the depths of my heart / soul <3

Happiness is a small thing. Almost nothing. A saucer of milk, a voice, smile, a heart, or a place to bury a bone.
A small dog, Marona, tells the story of her life with various human companions. Discarded in the trash as one of nine puppies, Morona narrowly escapes a tragic fate and short life. Rather than grow bitter, she is grateful for any kindness that comes her way. Marona never asks for much and cherishes little things as treasures. She gradually accumulates a "box of joys" that warm her heart and give her courage when she is scared or in trouble. With a loving person she is the richest dog in the world. In times of trouble Marona runs away, rather than hurt anyone. "It hurts less to sleep." Her love and empathy know no bounds.
This compassionate, artistic and colorful tale is deeply touching. The narrative contains impressive and moving prose which the animation and music expand upon as if they are coming from one ethereal source. Marona's story is genuinely as much human as it is canine. We are all together after all. In these deeply troubling times, she lifts your spirit. "Whenever you fall" Morona says, "be thankful it wasn't from higher up."

This is another beautiful movie that doesn't have enough reviews, so even a single low one can drop the overall number. For anyone who's ever had a pet, this is a must watch. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet and are encouraged by these reviews, but it's a lot better than another movie I saw about this subject. Really hits home. The story is simple, but effective, and I love the creative use of it's wild animation. I do not understand how more people have no heard of it.
Warning: the very little ones may not like it. It gets a little weird and depressing. Still, if you're an animal lover, find this on whatever streaming channel has it at the time you're reading this and watch it.
