Enchanting short animation that seems to really have deserved its Oscar. It was just a little bit too sweet in its storyline of friendship of a boy with animals he meets in a snowy landscape. Home is where the heart is.

I just watched this and I felt it was so beautiful. It's simple but it's everything someone needs to hear in their life. I'm glade your here and your enough. Your important and your loved. This should be a 10/10. My eyes weld up with tears so many times. It's just beautiful

This was beautifully done. Does the book great justice, bringing to life such a simple, loving and profound world. The gentleness is very calming, accompanied by a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack. So many deep and meaningful lessons every human needs to hear, this is hands down one of my favorite films of all time.

The animation is gorgeous, bringing Mackesy’s ink and watercolour drawings to life... And if watching it feels like drowning in a vat of golden syrup – well, don’t we all overdose on sweet things at Christmas?

Rated: 3/5

Everything seen seems extremely familiar, as the drawings are highly derivative of other children’s books.

Rated: 3/10

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" "Kind." That's all it took for me to love this beautiful, touching film.

Common Sense Media

In lesser hands, the film and its many lessons could feel saccharine, but each line is grounded in authenticity, thanks to the writing and expert cast of British actors.
