Fans of Mackesy’s book will be utterly delighted to see that the hand-drawn illustrations translate beautifully to the screen without losing any of its neat-yet-messy aesthetic. Because the lines are literally pulled from the pages of the detailed original work, the movie feels less like a short film with a progressing story and more like a moving book.
It follows the journey of a boy (voiced by Jude Coward Nicoll) who's looking for home; on his way, he meets three animals who help and advise him on life's big questions. Expect a few moments of peril, such as when the other animals are threatened by the fox (Idris Elba) and when a character nearly drowns crossing a wild river.The fox threatens to kill the mole. A character nearly drowns but is saved.
