Review of The Gruffalo on DVD (Giveaway)


Have you read the classic tale of The Gruffalo?  Even if you are not familiar, the new movie on DVD is a charming, family-friendly tale of imagination, bravery, and wit.  It tells the story of a mouse who escapes being eaten by several predatory woodland creatures in his search for an acorn feast.  His imagination comes to life, however, when he meets his made-up creation face to face!  The Gruffalo is delightful for adults and children of all ages.  Here is what my kids had to say (exact quotes here):

Micah (age 8) thought it was awesome, interesting, and funny. His favorite part of the movie was the line about "Gruffalo Crumble." He thinks that kids might be a little bit scared while watching it, but again it was funny. He thought that the Gruffalo was funny-looking. He would tell his friends about the movie, especially the first part.  He really enjoyed the music!

Matthias (age 6) liked it as well, however, he thought that the mouse lying might make children think that lying is OK.
