A wonderfully crafted story of the relationship between a small girl and a fox. Watched the English version narrated by Kate winslet. Thoroughly enchanting. Opens to beautiful scenery and plenty of wildlife to rival the best of nature documentaries. However the film wanes a little as it ventures further into the realms of storytelling. It is not all sweetness and light and has plenty of edge of your seat moments to keep you gripped. My three year old daughter was completely engrossed and mostly quiet for the entire movie,watching it from beginning to end in a single sitting,a first in our house. I am sure she would give it a ten and will doubtlessly be watching it many times over. It probably deserves a higher score on the visuals and is up there as one of the better kids movies,better than the usual mundane animated nonsense Disney and Pixar churn out every two minutes. Makes you want to pack it all in and move to the wilderness.
