Review of The Gruffalo (2009) by Byron B — 14 Feb 2011
Disney of course enlists the biggest named stars for their entry in the Oscar nominated animated shorts. This is the longest of the entries. Helena Bonham Carter is a mother squirrel telling the story of The Gruffalo, based on the children's book by Julia Donaldson, to her two young squirrels.
The CG animation had some surprises every so often. The number of references to the circle of life with bigger animals eating littler animals was unexpected. However the ending and the repetitive nature of the story/dialog for very young children left something to be desired from the adult perspective.
