Donn A @RT58687407 Jan 31 thought it would be more See more Louise C @RT69763679 Dec 6 I also watched 'Behind Charlie Mackesy' which gave a very good look at the artist / author. For me, that enhanced my third viewing of his story. What a beautiful, innocent soul this man has. (EG:-) "What do you want to be when you grow up?" asked Mole. "Kind" was the boy's response. Most people I know who have read the book or seen the film, give it praise. No wonder! The book sold eight million copies by 2022. See more Layne A @poisontree Nov 22 The animation is good however the rest is hard to watch because it’s trying too hard to be deep and it’s painfully obvious. It’s like they threw in a bunch of quotes that sound inspirational to make it seem like a wise movie. In reality no boy talks like that.

I genuinely think this half-hour short film is really good. Honestly, it's probably bias talking since I was reminded of Where the Wild Things Are because of discussion of philosophical themes, and I really liked that movie. I thought that BMF&H had nice animation, good voice acting, compelling conversations and a terrific score resulting in a half-hour story that serves as a good introduction to younger audiences for "thinking man's" material. I wouldn't be surprised if this was shown in schools somewhere in the world. At its best, it was, for me at least, reminiscent of the kind of the media that would be shown at the schools I went to growing up. See more John M @John9999 04/27/2025 The animation is nice, but the dialog is really heavy handedly trying to be the next Petit Prince. It's not genuine--it's trying too hard. At one point the horse says yet another word of wisdom, and the boy says "oh, I like that!", which just goes to show that the point of the whole thing is to dish out a list of words of wisdom. Also, little boys don't talk like that. See more Read all reviews
