This was promoted as a kid's film so I've got the DVD to watch with my 5 year old daughter who is learning French, thinking I am showing her a serene French film on the friendship of a girl and a fox, although she didn't want to with the fear of scary scenes. But this is absolutely not suitable for young children because of a violent scene where the fox jumps out of a closed window and breaks its neck. For the next few minutes we are subjected to the bloody body of the fox. My little kid just saw for a second the fallen fox with the bloody neck and then Iturned it off, but even that sight shattered her. She cried inconsolably. She was also bored before that, asking me when the film would be over. I feel terrible for subjecting her to this and will never make her watch even a children's film before I see it first.
