- Who'll love it
- Best for animal lovers and anyone who wants a laugh. An animal steals a fair few scenes. Sits nicely alongside Rango or Toy Story 5.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 7 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off

- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
City dweller Egghead dreams of being a cowboy, but his bouncing around gets him kicked out of his boarding house. He sees an ad for a ranch looking for a cowboy and applies. His tryout includes tests of marksmanship and use of a branding iron, but most of it consist of chasing down and roping a troublesome little calf. He passes the test, but the job isn't exactly what he dreamed of.
