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." Go to Full Review

3/5
Cute on the outside with its excellent character designs and blackhearted on the inside with its satire, "Revolting Rhymes" is definitely not for innocent kiddos. Go to Full Review

Teddy B 07/19/2024 Perhaps one of the most faithful adaptations of Dahl's work, 'Revolting Rhymes' keeps all of the wit and cruelty of his writing intact while enveloping it within a genuinely interesting framing device that keeps its audience captivated. See more 06/27/2019 Fairytales with a touch of The Gruffalo told from the a new perspective. Our 4 and 6 year old love it. See more 04/27/2018 The ending to this movie is truly perfect. The wolf's veganism really makes the movie whole. See more annie l 03/08/2018 This is one of the most fantastic short films I have ever seen.
