Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News It’s a quotable celebration of compassion and empathy that relays the everlasting power of friends. Rated: 4/4 Feb 22, 2023 Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 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 Dec 29, 2022 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A delightful adventure story about four new friends sharing their wisdom about life, challenges, and home. Rated: 5/5 May 28, 2023 Full Review Michael Talbot-Haynes Film Threat Everything seen seems extremely familiar, as the drawings are highly derivative of other children’s books. Rated: 3/10 Mar 27, 2023 Full Review Linda Cook OurQuadCities / WHBF-TV (Illinois) "What do you want to be when you grow up?" "Kind." That's all it took for me to love this beautiful, touching film. Rated: 4 stars Jan 15, 2023 Full Review Polly Conway 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. Rated: 5/5 Jan 4, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Sai C The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse* is a short film that feels like a gentle, warm hug. It tells a simple yet powerful story about friendship, kindness, and finding hope, even in hard times. The story follows a boy who is lost and meets three animals—a curious mole, a quiet fox, and a wise horse. Together, they go on a journey to find the boy’s home. Along the way, they share deep and meaningful thoughts about life. The words they say are easy to understand but touch your heart in a big way. The animation is beautiful, like a painting that has come to life. The voices of the characters are soft and calming, making you feel peaceful as you watch. This film is more than just a story; it’s a reminder to be kind to yourself and others. It’s about friendship, courage, and the idea that sometimes the smallest steps can lead to the biggest changes. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse is a short film that everyone should see. It’s simple, sweet, and stays with you long after it ends. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review terry W Delightful, thoughtful, beautiful engaging. I must see for all ages about Hope, love and friendship. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Indigo O Beautiful morals and beautiful art. Definitely one of those things to watch when you're feeling low. All ages, kids and adults, can benefit from the wisdoms in this film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review D G Anyone giving this less than five stars are hiding from there true selves , why you are ashamed of your true feelings i dont know , honesty is so much . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Jay W I wish I had something profound or interesting to say about this film. I'll just be honest, being honest is always interesting. Every line of dialogue from this special feels like it should be embroidered onto a pillow. All of the titular characters have lines that could be on inspirational posters or fortune cookies. It can be difficult to be both so simple a child can understand, while at the same time so profound that it makes adults ponder. The animation is beautiful. It matches the unique ink quill drawing style of Mackesy. In it, no line gets erased. This film is enough. Just as it is. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Chris Andres S Even though is a short movie it punches you hard and you really start thinking about your relationship that you have at the moment and make you wish you had friends like them... What a masterpiece!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
