The Gruffalo's Child
This follow-up to the 2009 animated feature, adapted from the children's book by Julia Donaldson and Alex Scheffler, follows the Gruffalo's Child as she ventures into the deep dark wood in search of the big bad mouse and encounters the Snake, Owl, and Fox along the way. She eventually finds the mouse, who outwits her just as the Gruffalo did before.

I'm a bit of a sucker for a snowy adventure so I actually enjoyed this every bit as much as I did the first film (2009). Clearly in the intervening years, "Gruffalo" has had some fun for now there is a child. An inquisitive little beastie who has been warned by her dad not to go into the woods unaccompanied for fear of encountering the mouse! In a bit of a reversal of the original story, this intrepid young explorer sets off in the middle of a frosty night on an adventure that introduces her to the fox, the hapless owl and to the clever snake. Her encounter, eventually, with the mouse? Well let's just say our big-eared little friend has lost none of it's vivid imagination! The animation is engaging and detailed, with the snow working well to provide a nice canvas for the lively and entertaining artwork. I'm not sure we need another of these, but this is still good fun for half an hour, and is an easy watch for children and grown-ups alike.
