Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for anyone with a bit of wanderlust and a family movie night. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else. Shelve it next to The Jungle Book.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 19 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
