A Recommendation

The other day I bagged out How To Train Your Dragon, and whinged a lot about how nobody makes good animated movies anymore.

But to show that I'm not always such a crabby paddy, I'd like to recommend an animated movie that I think is pretty much perfect, and can't be faulted- The Gruffalo. It is a BBC production, made for tele, I think. I think it was only about half an hour long, an aired on Christmas Day.

It's on iview at the moment, but expires in 3 hours! So if you want to see some awesomeness, you'll need to be very quick about it.

The Gruffalo is a great book. The sequel (The Gruffalo's Child) is not as good, but ok.

We took the kids to see a stage performance of it, and I still have the song they did for the gruffalo in my head.

It was really good.

Probably won't get to watch Gruffalo at work however...

I've never eally looked at the book, because I wasn't attracted to the drawings. But I'll have to have a better look at it.

We took our kids along too. It was fantastic.

And I saw the BBC production of it which was OK. But having seen the play, it was lacking something.
