Another Disney delight, based on the humane and comical children's novel by Sheila Burnford... There isn't a jaded, cynical moment in the film.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 11, 2023

The anthropomorphism, outside its cartoon context, seems condescendingly cruel, denying the characters' animal grace and subtlety.

Although a remake that adds very little to the original bar a few jokes, this still remains enjoyable and brings a classic story to the attention of the next generation.

A treat for children, thanks to the astonishing performances of its animal cast

This film is clever even with its human actors, dispensing with the first film's animal-loving hermits and playing up the importance of a cute, newly typical American family.
