Anita Singh

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The animation is gorgeous, bringing Mackesy’s ink and watercolour drawings to life... And if watching it feels like drowning in a vat of golden syrup – well, don’t we all overdose on sweet things at Christmas?

Rated: 3/5

Michael Talbot-Haynes

Film Threat

Everything seen seems extremely familiar, as the drawings are highly derivative of other children’s books.

Rated: 3/10

Polly Conway

Common Sense Media

In lesser hands, the film and its many lessons could feel saccharine, but each line is grounded in authenticity, thanks to the writing and expert cast of British actors.

Rated: 5/5

Chris Andres S Even though is a short movie it punches you hard and you really start thinking about your relationship that you have at the moment and make you wish you had friends like them... What a masterpiece!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Daniel G Enchanting short animation that seems to really have deserved its Oscar. It was just a little bit too sweet in its storyline of friendship of a boy with animals he meets in a snowy landscape. Home is where the heart is.
