Audience Member The kid might be imaginative, but also so self-centered. Annoyed me a lot more than it should have, but as a parent I grounded that kid like 10 times. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Great story for 5 th grade book reporting. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a very sweet and touching film, and my children were drawn into its magic. Very whimsical, but it is lovely that there are bits of insight into animal life, though some of that came from what we discussed during different scenes, but nice that a little bit of wild life is combined with whimsy and sweetness. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Maybe The Sequel "Great White Shark Takes Child", Will Be Just As Thrilling As This Convoluted Snore Fest. All It Aimed To Do Was Be An Environmentalists Wet Dream, With Blatant Bias, By Swaying Every Twist & Turn In Story Toward 'Ohh, That Poor Fox', How Ever Will It Survive...I Kept Thinking Of All The Native Animals These Pests Unphasingly Kill. https://panique.com.au/trishansoz/animals/fox-european-red-australia.htm Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member (*** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] A beautiful and touching film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Directed by Luc Jacquet, who had won worldwide critical and commercial acclaim for March of the Penguins (2005), picking up an Oscar on the way. For his next film, he wanted to do something semi-autobiographical, some which was partially based on his childhood. What we get is one part nature documentary and one part fairy tale, and it makes for a winning combination, and it's something that's seldom seen on film these days. In the Jura Mountains in Eastern France, a young girl (Bertille Noël-Bruneau) spends most of her days out in the countryside, exploring and taking in what she can see. One day, while riding her bike to school, she encounters a fox, when the girl tries to get closer, the fox runs away, but the girl becomes intrigued and wants to see the fox again. She spends months looking, and she finds the fox again, and even though the fox is nervous, she manages to bond with the fox, they go on adventures in the mountains, where they encounter a dangerous wolf pack, but the girl becomes obsessed with the fox, which does start to scare the poor fox. It's a lovely film, and done in an innovative way, where they got the nature footage done first, and the story was built around the footage, but it is visually stunning, even if there is no plot to speak of, but that doesn't matter, it's still an enchanting film to look upon.
