André Bazin Cahiers du Cinéma It goes without saying that these are not trained animals we are watching... But that is what is most surprising, since the animals seem to conform so freely to the scenario as written. Dec 8, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Russell H Fun, film following a squirrel Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Recheada de imagens mega fofinhas, com bichinhos mais mega fofinhos ainda, e a luta pela alimentação, segurança, sobrevivência, tudo lindo, embora triste em alguns aspectos, as várias mamães do filme, cada qual defendendo seus filhotes a sua maneira... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review s r A cute and at moments spectacular film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Corny but fun old-timey Disney nature film. Disney had been criticized for staging parts of their prior nature films, so this film dropped all pretense of being a documentary and instead frames the film around a Bambi-like forest animal story. Perri is a tree squirrel who gets separated from his famiiy and has to survive on his own through all four seasons, getting chased my predators and even having to survive a forest fire. Pretty lightweight stuff, but it's never boring and my 4-year old quite enjoyed it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Perri contains some lovely scenery and shots of life in the forest. It is referred to as the only true-life fantasy, but in honesty it isn't much more than a documentary to me. The story didn't always keep my interest and could have used some work. The songs were nice though. (First and only viewing - 1/5/2017) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderful movie . poor ole Perri, got allot to contend with Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
