Fun adventure

The seventh was The Snail and the Whale, a tale about a snail on the tail of a whale, traveling the ocean to see the world. Based on the children book with the same name, it was a sweet and happy story. The animation of the ocean was beautiful and spectacular. Also, there was heart in the theme and I appreciate it. 7.5/10.

Slow and Steady wins the race!

The Snail And The WhaleThis was a slow burning story. It didn't wow me at any point, but it cruised by gently and took me on a sweet journey along with the Snail and her new Whale friend. It was very sweet without having to be too complicated, which I found refreshing and an escape.It was beautifully drawn and I'm not usually a fan of the Computer Generated cartoons, but because of that, it was able to show such fantastic landscapes and the characters themselves might almost be real animated plasticine, that I could forgive it.I'm not sure that it was necessary to use the celebrity voices of Sally Hawkins or Rob Brydon for the lead characters, but Diana Rigg was a lovely choice as the Narrator.It was a perfectly short and simple gem to watch with the little ones and keep them quiet on a Boxing Day or Bank Holiday. Or alternatively you can watch it with your Mum, because you're both children that never grew up like I did.740.32/1000.

The Snail and the Whale

Julia Donaldson's story is brought to rhyming life in this colourful animated story of a snail who hitches a lift on a whale.The snail has adventures in the ocean, meets friendly dolphins and dodges seagulls and sharks.The snail comes to the aid of the whale when it is stranded on the beach.It is an animated short that kids would enjoy at Christmas. It does not have the wow factor of Finding Nemo, although I did find this particular adaptation of a Donaldson story had more dash of colour.I was left wondering how the snail learned basic literacy.
