positive · AI labelView post →106. The Gruffalo That mouse is fucking evil and twisted. Otherwise, cute little short film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe skews towards younger than your daughter, but The Gruffalo is a great children’s book with a really cool animated short film adaptation. And John Hurt voices a menacing owl, which makes it mandatory viewing! We love it also bc it’s only 30 min. Great little watch during final dinner prep
positive · AI labelView post →Well color me ridiculously excited! One of our favorite book series, and our favorite movie series (wish I could have the whole set on DVD!). I love the Gruffalo books! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...
neutral · AI labelView post →Before a mouse goes for wander in the forest to find a nut, he fails to consider that he is just about bite-size for most of it's other dwellers. There's a snake, an owl - who does seem to find it quite difficult to fly in a straight line, and a ferocious fox. Perhaps he has read "1001 Nights" though, because when faced with becoming sandwich fodder, he conjures up an image for each of them of this great and menacing monster. This does the trick until, well guess who he meets amongst the trees?…
