The Fox and the Child

LOVED IT

I just watched this movie, and it is absolutely breathtaking. The filming and sound effects are heartrending. If not for the plot, watch it for the beauty of the filming of the French natural world. The plot, although flawed, is criticized too harshly. The director WAS going for a magical children-esque fairytale, but it was in essence, quite dark. I thought that this was enough to make it an adult film - a nostalgic one, at that. I certainly felt wistful, being an adult, yet feeling pulled back into my childhood. Plus, the plot was actually rather believable, with the main character's successes and failures. The director captured an intense understanding of animal nature (not just human nature) as well. Moreover, this does not deserve such a harsh rating - in fact, it deserves to be ranked in a high echelon of nature films.

Beautiful nature is the only thing going for this movie. Not a kid friendly movie. And it doesn't even seem like the girls lips match the english words - its like watching an overdubbed film. Also the story line in the end is troubling for little girls who would admire the fox relationship with the girl (and are they not the target audience?)

This is a slow movie but somehow my 4 and 6 year old hyperactive children were entranced. It is a beautiful tale that had me crying and laughing. My children will choose to watch this over the more exciting animated films we have collected atleast once a month.

I think this is a movie that can't teach u a valuable lesson I love it more than anything

I liked this movie first because I did not want to watch it but here is my point, the girl and the fox were best friends then the fox jumps out the girls window and it looks as if it is dead. Brings it back too the forest. Then goes to bed. Next day fox is alive and happy. Sratch happy she is MAD! In the end the final twist is that the fox hates the girl forever. I did not want to watch this movie as I said so I was happy that the FOX HATED the GIRL!

The preview was ok but,the movie was great. It was kind of sad but, I loved it.

What an adorable little movie. My children who are 6 and 4 really liked this movie. Absolutely amazing footage and scenery. Enjoyed the simplicity of the movie. Something the whole family enjoyed together!

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen! It's little bit different , but scenery & story is so beautiful! I love this movie so much! You should watch this movie!
