The Snail and the Whale

Took my 3-year-old nephew to a special adult and toddler screening of this at the cinema. Barely a peep was heard throughout the film which either means it really spoke to them, or they all fell asleep.

I suspect the former is the case, this is a lovingly animated tale of how even the smallest of creatures can sometimes help the biggest in their time of need.

The look and feel of it was really engrossing, and it was voiced by a great cast - Sally Hawkins in the water again, and Diana Rigg doing a brilliant job narrating it in rhyming couplets like your favourite granmother reading you a bedtime story.

Short but sweet.
