Fairytales with a touch of The Gruffalo told from the a new perspective. Our 4 and 6 year old love it.

The ending to this movie is truly perfect. The wolf's veganism really makes the movie whole.

It really is a fun short with a warm relationship between two women at its center that'll make your heart flutter even if they're just supposed to be fairytale "friends."

This adaptation of Roald Dahl's 1982 parody of nursery rhymes is more Sunday morning cartoon than anything approaching the genius of The Witches.

Flickering Myth

Dahl's rhymes are undeniably infectious and some of the subversive moments do prove intermittently hilarious, but overall it's just fine, really.

Rated: 3/5

Doesn't capture the same enchantment as either the original fairy tales or Dahl's book, but should get a pass from most indiscriminate children.
