Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at animal lovers and anyone looking to switch off and smile. An animal steals a fair few scenes.

- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 7 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1947: an older pace and style.
