Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among lovers of period drama and anyone who's ever talked to their pet, this one's for you. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own. If you loved Oliver! or Great Expectations, start here. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic, feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
At a rural railway station in Victorian England, Jim is a spunky Jack Russell Terrier who escapes his mean master at the circus, and is soon befriended by station porter Bob and lonely orphan Henry. His performing feats soon become a local attraction, and before long he's in the middle of a battle to save the local orphanage.
