Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for anyone who's ever talked to their pet and people who need a good giggle. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Darkly funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 5 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Why do dogs bark at such innocent creatures as pigeons and squirrels... what are they afraid of? This film answers that eternal question.
