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.

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

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!!!

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
